As per Council Regulation (EC) no 1967/2006 no more than 130 vessels can be authorized to fish with the FADs within the 25nm Fisheries Management Zone around the Maltese Islands.This data was included as part of the dataset used for one of the co-financed EU LIFE+ Funding Programmes - LIFE BaĦAR for N2K project.
