Sports fishing FAD deployed in Sh. Atoll
Trolling FADs are specially designed for trolling and sports fishing. The FAD is designed with a light visible from afar and a radar reflector to easily identify its location.
The trolling FAD deployment program began last year. Under this program, the work of establishing trolling FADs in various regions of the Maldives was also carried out last year.
Recently, a new trolling FAD was also established in the Hulhumale area.
