This is the second FAD established in HA. Atoll during this trip. The other FAD was established last Friday, 7 miles northeast of Dhapparu in the atoll. With these two FADs, the number of trolling FADs in HA. Atoll has reached 3. The third FAD is located 6 miles east of Baarah.
Trolling FADs, established at a distance of between 3 and 6 miles around the islands, are specialized FADs for trolling and sports fishing. The trolling FAD is designed with a light visible from afar and a radar reflector to easily identify the location of the FAD.
The Fisheries Ministry has previously stated that the main purpose of establishing these trolling FADs is to further promote and sustainably develop this type of fishing, and to facilitate fishermen, young fishermen, and those involved in recreational fishing.
