Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) are man-made structures used to attract fish, making them easier to catch. These devices can be floating buoys, submerged structures, or even natural materials like logs. They create a habitat that encourages fish to gather, often leading to increased fishing success for commercial and recreational fishers. FADs work by mimicking natural features in the ocean, such as drifting debris or underwater reefs. Fish are drawn to these areas for shelter and food, which can include smaller fish and plankton. By concentrating fish in one location, FADs help improve fishing efficiency and sustainability when managed properly.
