Book Synopsis Geographic Information Systems in Fisheries Management and Planning by : Gertjan de Graaf
Download or read book Geographic Information Systems in Fisheries Management and Planning written by Gertjan de Graaf and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many fishery biologists and policy makers involved in inland fisheries management and planning are unaware of GIS technology and its potential for fisheries planning and management. The FAO Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Service (FIRI) has been active for the last 19 years in promoting the use of GIS and remote sensing in fisheries and aquaculture. Promotional activities have been carried out through training, projects, field missions, and oral presentations and publications. However, a manual to use along with GIS software for the fisheries biologists in the field explaining GIS in a way that is understandable to non-GIS users had not been produced until now. This manual was written to overcome this knowledge-gap, it is a "do-it-yourself" manual giving a short introduction to GIS software and its applications in fishery science. The overall objective of this manual is to encourage fishery managers to use this tool (GIS) to foster the sustainable use of natural resources. There are five main sections in the manual: GIS concepts and functions and key tools provided by ArcView 3.x, Geographic coordinate system and map projections, Raster data and analysis, Regression analysis, and Application case studies. All sections are accompanied by exercises that have been designed to illustrate key applications of GIS in inland and marine fisheries management. Also, a custom-designed ArcView grid regression extension is included to show the integration of GIS with surplus production models.
Book Synopsis Geographical Information Systems by : Geoffery J. Meaden
Download or read book Geographical Information Systems written by Geoffery J. Meaden and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late 20th century has witnessed increasing crises in the world's marine fisheries. A causal analysis of these reveals that a common element are various manifestations of spatial inequity. This most frequently includes the inequity of access rights to the resource, but factors such as variations in resource depletion, spatio-temporal variations in stock recruitment, the imposition of regulatory zoning, destruction of marine ecosystems and the siting of mariculture facilities are other examples. To resolve some of these problems, management practices must be improved. As has been shown in other fields where spatially related problems occur, there is now a promising tool, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), which, combined with other analytical tools and models, could allow for improved spatial management. GIS are basically integrated computer based systems which allow for the input of digital geo-referenced data to produce maps plus other textual, graphical and tabular output. The essential usefulness of GIS however, lies in its ability to manipulate data in a large number of ways and to perform various analytical functions so as to produce output which makes for more efficient decision making.As with many computer based systems, the key to GIS success lies in the acquisition of suitable data. The various means by which both primary and secondary data can be located, gathered, accessed and stored are described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich BWL - Sonstiges, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The study material on the “Application of Remote Sensing and GIS in Fisheries” is a humble attempt to convey the physical understanding about the techniques like GIS and Remote sensing to the students from fisheries. Realizing the need for a material describing the application especially in fisheries sector, it was my fervid aspiration to develop a text book. The Worlds highest producer of fish and fishery products from capture fisheries are identified as major fishing areas by FAO. The countries within the Southeast Asian region considered as a major producer of capture fisheries. In 2019, the world’s fisheries production was amounted to 195.7 million metric tons (MT) of which, 94.6 million MT was from capture fisheries and 101.1 came from aquaculture. Southeast Asian region accounted for about 42.2 million MT that constitute around 22% of the total landing. Among them, Indonesia, the highest producer generated about 20.6 million MT. Considering this scenario, the effective management of the region’s inland and coastal areas is very essential to reinforce the trend of fisheries and aquaculture in geographical region and thereby can ensure food security of peoples within the whole world. There are existing technologies that would be used for better planning and management of fisheries and aquaculture, e.g. GIS and Remote Sensing technologies. The usage of those technologies is therefore worth exploring, especially in obtaining the required information for formulating appropriate approaches, policies, further as management plans for medium and long-term sustainable utilization of fishery resources and environmental facilities for fisheries and aquaculture.
