| | | Review of the literature is an essential starting point for any endeavour in GIS, remote sensing, or mapping. Yet, reviews are often incomplete for lack of access to the material, and consequently projects experience durations that are longer and costs that are higher than need be because the accumulated knowledge has not been tapped and taken advantage of. This page sets out to mitigate that problem. It is a gateway to the literature that represents much of the accumulated global experience on using GIS, remote sensing and mapping to solve problems and issues in aquaculture and inland fisheries. Spatial issues addressed most frequently for aquaculture and inland fisheries are listed in two tables in issues section along with the number of literature records currently contained in GISFish databases. Four recent studies available for download in issues section provide background information on GISFish databases. | | | |

| | | Title | African Geo Information Research Network | | Description | The rationale for the development of the African Geo Information Research Network (AGIRN) is to address one of the key concerns of the geo-information community of Africa. Over the past decades there have been many projects, research studies and paper presentations by African experts at conferences and meetings. Very few of these studies and papers became accessible to the broader geo-information community. The Human Sciences Research Council's (HSRC) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Centre and EIS-AFRICA have decided that it is imperative to develop a geo-information research portal that will ensure the establishment of a forum for a vigorous engagement by African researchers. The development of AGIRN will provide the geo-information research community a mechanism to publish and access high quality work, to share in geo-information knowledge and to engage in discussion through a widely accessible web based medium.
This portal aims not only to serve the geo-information practitioners across the continent but also the many decision makers and planners in Africa. | | Content Language(s) | English | | Keywords |  MAPPING; GIS; REMOTE SENSING | | Download | | | Date | 18 March 2008 | | Author | The Human Sciences Research Council's (HSRC) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Centre and EIS-AFRICA | |
