Abstract

Ruyida Mushtaq

Fisheries is one of the natural resource of the world which contributes to agro-economic development, food security and foreign exchange earnings for both economic values and human sustenance and sustainable livelihood generation. The Fisheries productivity around the world has been declined due to global ecosystems are under pressure. Overexploitation and unregulated fishing, habitat degradation, pollution, climate change are threats to sustainability of fishery resources which causes significant spatially variable effects on aquatic environments that are best managed through use of Geospatial techniques. The study aims to explain importance of geospatial techniques such as remote sensing, geographic information system, and global positioning system helps in better planning and sustainable management of fisheries
