Sport Fishing Guatemala:
Why Guatemala?
The beautiful landscapes and biodiversity existing at most of the coasts, rivers and lakes in the country, contribute to making Guatemala the perfect place for sport fishing. The new Fishing Law regulates the practice of this sport’s development in an orderly, controlled, and sustainable fashion.
The National Marine Fisheries Service-NMFS- of the United States Government says “The great abundance of species in Guatemala is due to the narrow continental platform which allows for the proximity to be as close as the first 20 nautical miles.”
