This is the second trolling FAD deployed by the Fisheries Ministry today. This morning, a FAD was deployed 5 miles off the west of GA. Melaimugu. That trolling FAD number is O09V01.
With these two trolling FADs established today, the number of trolling FADs in GA Atoll has reached 4. The other two FADs are the two trolling FADs established in 2023, 4.5 miles off Maamendhoo in the atoll, and in 2024, 5 miles off the east of Koda Fehelaa in the atoll.
Trolling FADs established at a distance between 3 to 6 miles around the islands are dedicated to 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.
