| | | The objective is to post a summary of your project so that you can showcase your innovations and achievements, and so that you can share your knowledge and experience with colleagues, including the opportunity for them to follow up on your summary with questions and comments via email. These are applications in progress that have been posted by GISFish users. The aim is to facilitate and accelerate the exchange of current experience among practitioners on the use of GIS, remote sensing and mapping in inland fisheries and aquaculture. | | | | Nominate a project | | | | Email a brief description of your project in progress, including the title, author(s), country, main issues addressed, environment, species, and culture system. You will receive an acknowledgement, and eventually a reply. A projects in progress template is available at your disposal to enable you to nominate your project to be included among those listed here. A standard format has been adopted for the template in order to ensure that salient features of your project always will be retrieved by searches and so that it can be easily evaluated for its relevance by the reader. You can input your project template either in English, or in your mother tongue. If in a language other than English, FAO will translate a summary of your project summary into English that will accompany your project summary in its original language on the Web site. | | | |

The goal of this project is to develop a model using Neuro-fuzzy techniques, 3D hydrodynamic modelling and GIS to predict coastal physical sensitivity, vulnerability, suitability and the simultaneous consideration of both criteria, suitability and vulnerability, where the concept of sustainability is defined as a marine system which includes maximum coastal suitability and minimum coastal vulnerability. The specific objective is improve our understanding and modelling of physical processes, simplifying and parameterising them for inclusion in biological and biochemical impact models at scales relevant to determining environmental impact and the assimilative capacity of environments. The project is in an early stage of development. | | Keywords | AQUACULTURE | | | |
