With this FAD, the number of trolling FADs in B. Atoll has reached 3. The other two FADs are located 5 miles east of Madhirivaadhoo and 6 miles east of Maaddoo.
Trolling FADs, established at a distance of between 3 and 6 miles around the islands, are specially designed for trolling and sports fishing. The trolling FADs are designed with a light visible from a distance and a radar reflector to easily identify the location of the FAD.
Trolling FADs are established to further promote and sustainably develop fishing, and to facilitate fishermen, young fishermen, and those engaged in recreational fishing.
