| | | 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. | | | |

It is used intensively for many purposes; fish processing plants, urban and community settlement, coastal aquaculture (shrimp farms, cockle, mussel, sea bass and seaweed culture), communal/industrial waste water treatment area, fishing grounds, and a mangrove reserved area. Focusing on marine molluscs, the bay and nearby area (74 km2 in total water area) has at least 90 species, wat least 10 of which are of economic importance. Among the various uses, some conflicts are inevitable. GIS–based modeling is one of the possible technologies that can be used as a part of the Pattani bay sustainable fishery resources management. Initially, the project will develop a “GIS-Based Model for Economic Marine Molluscs Production and Coastal Aquaculture Management in Pattani Bay”. In summary, marine molluscs distribution will be mapped, a model for some economic mollusc production estimation will be developed as well as some cultured species that are mentioned above. Based on the bay ecology and the current land use activities, some additional models, which relate to and negatively impact, coastal aquaculture (sea water and fresh water intrusion, and waste water distribution) in the study area would be included.
The overall objective is to develop a GIS-Based Model for Economic Marine Mollusc Production and Coastal Aquaculture Management in Pattani Bay to use as a part of the integrated bay management plan that could be applied to other bays, lakes and/or other semi-enclosed areas in ThailandThe proposed outputs are:
-Economic marine mollusc production estimation model.
-Model for suitable areas for other coastal aquaculture species: seaweed, sea bass, cockle and mussel | | Keywords | AQUACULTURE; GIS | | | |
