Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs)

Fish aggregating devices, more commonly called FADs, are anchored or drifting objects that are put in the ocean to attract ¬fish. Tuna and other ¬fish gather around FADs, which makes it easier to ¬and catch them. Fish also aggregate under drifting logs and even whales, and rules on ¬fishing around FADs often apply to all objects drifting on or near the sea surface, which attract ¬fish.
