Applications of Satellite Remote Sensing for Fisheries Assessment & Management

Applications of Satellite Remote Sensing for Fisheries Assessment & Management

This symposium explores the transformative impact of satellite remote sensing (RS) technology on fisheries assessment and management. Presentations showcase innovative applications of satellite RS in understanding fish populations, mapping habitats, and informing decision-making processes. Key topics include techniques for mapping fish habitats, monitoring population dynamics, and integrating satellite RS data with traditional fisheries management strategies. Case studies highlight successful applications of satellite RS across different ecosystems, offering insights into challenges, opportunities, and future directions for research and application. Aimed at researchers, policymakers, fisheries managers, and industry stakeholders, this symposium provides a vital forum for advancing our understanding of satellite RS in fisheries assessment and management.
