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.
