Inaccessible Island CMP results

A revised management approach for the Tristan rock lobster fishery at Inaccessible Island, one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, has been identified as optimal with a trap limit (Itar) set at 5.0 kg/trap. This recommendation is based on analyzing both commercial catch per unit effort (CPUE) and biomass survey data to refine the total allowable catch (TAC) setting formula. The study integrates multiple data sources to enhance fishery sustainability, balancing commercial and conservation objectives in this remote and ecologically significant marine environment.
