A trolling FAD has been deployed off the coast of GDh. Kaadedhdhoo.
This FAD was re-deployed today during the Fisheries Ministry's ongoing trip to the southern atolls to repair and replace lost FADs.
Trolling FAD deployed off Kaadedhdhoo
The FAD was deployed at its previous location, 5 miles west of Kaadedhdhoo. The FAD number is P08V01-01.
With the FAD deployed today, the total number of trolling FADs in GDh. Atoll is 3. These include the FADs established 4 miles southeast of Gadhdhoo and 5 miles southwest of Dhigelaabadhoo in the atoll.
Trolling FADs, established at a distance of between 3 to 6 miles around islands, are specially designed for trolling and sport fishing. The trolling FADs are designed with a light visible from afar and a radar reflector to easily identify the location of the FAD.
