Fish aggregating devices have proven uses in marine conservation. For more than 20 years, anchored FADs have been deployed offshore of fishing communities by development and fisheries organizations, to redistribute fishing pressure from coastal ecosystems to pelagic resources (Campbell et al., 2016 ; Jauharee et al., 2021 ).

Example of a Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) in the ocean. Currently, most FADs are equipped with satellite tracking devices to allow vessels to track them at sea. About 75 percent are also equipped with sonar buoys that help measure the volume of fish congregated underneath the FAD. Photo: International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISFF)
As the marine renewable energy (MRE) industry advances and devices are deployed, there is a need to understand potential environmental effect of introducing structures to marine waters and potentially attracting marine organisms. These structures may act as artificial reefs, underwater human-made structures that function similar to a natural reef, and can …
The manual is specific to the Pacific Island region and focuses on anchored FAD designs for coastal environments, as they support the food security and livelihoods of small-scale fishers in the region.
