        Since 1979, the MNHN has been the scientific authority for TAAF fisheries, ensuring the scientific monitoring of the Patagonian toothfish and rock lobster fisheries in Kerguelen, Crozet, Saint-Paul, and Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

        The MNHN plays a key role in stock assessment and monitoring, providing recommendations to fishery managers, defining annual fishing limits (Total Allowable Catch \u2013 TAC), fishing in the TAAF is only permitted within the TAC limits, set by the French Prefecture based on MNHN recommendations.<\/p>\n

        This balanced and sustainable approach involves shipowners (including SAPMER), MNHN scientists, and the TAAF authorities, ensuring the long-term conservation of fish stocks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”6064″ background_image_position=”center bottom” background_image_stacking=”default” enable_bg_scale=”true” background_image_loading=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”small_depth” column_border_radius=”10px” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” font_color=”#202d6e” column_shadow=”small_depth” column_border_radius=”10px” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-left” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_icon icon_family=”iconsmind” icon_style=”default” icon_color_type=”color_scheme” icon_color=”Accent-Color” icon_padding=”0px” pointer_events=”all” icon_iconsmind=”iconsmind-Helmet” icon_size=”60″ margin_bottom=”0px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Objectives of the collaboration” font_container=”tag:h6|font_size:25px|text_align:left|color:%23202d6e|line_height:30px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”none” el_class=”six-title” css=”.vc_custom_1734326763980{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]
