No fishing in marine or freshwater shall be done without a licence issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenues upon presentation of a certificate of the Bureau of Fisheries of the Department of Agriculture and Commerce and the payment of the fees specified in section 90. All fishing vessels and gear shall be registered with the Bureau of Fisheries. The Bureau of Fisheries may prohibit fishing in any area with any type of gear which it finds harmful to the fish resources of that area (sect. 93). Provisions of section 99 empower the Department of Agriculture and Commerce to divide fishing areas of Liberia into zones and to close fishing areas for purposes of fish protection.
