Resumen
Descripción
This publication is an essential guide to understanding the role of spatial analysis in the sustainable development and management of fisheries and aquaculture. The technical paper is an easy-to-understand publication that emphasizes the fundamental skills and processes associated with geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. The required spatial data and computer hardware and software are outlined, as well as the considerations necessary to implementing a GIS. Current issues, st atus and applications of GIS and remote sensing to aquaculture, inland fisheries and marine fisheries are described to illustrate the capabilities of these technologies. Emerging thematic issues having a spatial context in fisheries and aquaculture in the near future are also described, and finally useful clues as how best to overcome challenges to accomplishing GIS work are addressed. This publication is organized in two parts to inform readers who may be at varying levels of familiarity with G IS and remote sensing. One part is a summary version and is addressed to administrators and managers, while the other is the full document intended for professionals in technical fields and for university students and teachers. The latter part is available in this CD-ROM.
