Thoddoo trolling FAD redeployed

The severed AA. Thoddoo trolling FAD has been redeployed.

The Fisheries Ministry team deployed this FAD yesterday, 5 miles northwest of the island. This is the same location where the Thoddoo FAD was previously deployed. The number of this FAD is H08V01-01.

Trolling FAD Location:

04°29.500’N

72°55.000’E

Trolling FADs, established at a distance between 3 to 6 miles around islands, are specially designed for trolling and sport fishing. The trolling FAD is designed with a light visible from afar and a radar reflector to easily identify the location of the FAD.

With the Thoddoo FAD, there are two trolling FADs in AA Atoll. The other FAD is located 4.5 miles west of Maalhos.
