This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Vanuatu statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Vanuatuan statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Vanuatu-specific metadata information.

| Definition |
A fish aggregating (or aggregation) device (FAD) is a man-made object used to attract ocean going pelagic fish such as marlin, tuna and mahi-mahi (dolphin fish). They usually consist of buoys or floats tethered to the ocean floor with concrete blocks. Fish tend to move around FADs in varying orbits, rather than remaining stationary below the buoys. Both recreational and commercial fisheries use FADs |
| Concept |
This indicator tries to find the total FADs per 1,000 people in each province to improve accessibility of appropriate technology, knowledge, and skills in food production, preservation and storage. Ensuring our food and nutrition security needs are adequately met for all people through increasing sustainable food production systems and improving household production. |
| Rationale |
This study is all about collecting the total number of FADs per 1,000 population by province so that another 100 FADs can be distributed throughout Vanuatu by 2030 to improve access to appropriate technology, knowledge and skills in food production, preservation and storage throughout Vanuatu. |
