With this, the number of trolling FADs in Male' Atoll has reached 4. Previously deployed FADs are located 4.5 miles east of Gaafaru, 4.5 miles north of Kaashidhoo, and 5 miles east of Hulhumale'. All these FADs were established by the current government.
Trolling FADs, established at a distance of between 3 to 6 miles around the 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.
Trolling FADs are established to further advance and sustainably develop the fishing industry, and to provide convenience for fishermen, young fishers, and those engaged in recreational fishing.
