This API, published via the Planning Authority's HALE Connect infrastructure, provides the geospatial location of Fishing Aggregation Devices (FADs) deployed by fishing vessels in Malta. Data originates from the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (DFA), which annually issues calls for applications setting out conditions under which vessels may lay FADs. The dataset was compiled as part of a co-financed EU LIFE+ funding programme and is delivered as a WFS (Web Feature Service), enabling access to the spatial data for mapping and analysis of FAD locations around Malta's waters.”Every year the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (DFA) issues a call for applications (together with a set of conditions) for those vessels interested to lay Fishing Aggregation Devices (FADs). This data was included as part of the dataset used for one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Prog…
