Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing and Mapping for the Development and Management of Marine Aquaculture

The objective of this document is to illustrate the ways in which Geographical Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing and mapping can play a role in the development and management of marine aquaculture. The perspective is global. The approach is to employ example applications that have been aimed at resolving many of the important issues in marine aquaculture. The underlying purpose is to stimulate the interest of individuals in the government, industry and educational sectors of marine aquaculture to make more effective use of these tools. A brief introduction to spatial tools and their use in the marine fisheries sector precedes the example applications. The most recent applications have been selected to be indicative of the state of the art, allowing readers to make their own assessments of the benefits and limitations of use of these tools in their own disciplines. Also published in Chinese and Spanish.

Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Incorporating recent advances made in remote sensing technology, this text draws attention to ways in which remote sensing may minimize the environmental impact of exploration and improve cost-effectiveness. Topics include image processing, geographic information systems, current and future sensing
