Introduction
Fisheries management in large scale was very difficult to be implemented and observed
due to the technology limitation to support the studies. The advent of Geographic
Information Systems (GIS), however, has made it possible to assess habitat quality,
quantity and distribution of fish (Douglas. John 2009) in large scale area observation such
as lake (Douglas. John 2009), bay (Clark. Randall 2004), ocean (Zheng. X. 2002), strait
(Garofalo. G 2007) reefs (Bello. P. Javier 2005) and large marine protected area
(Stelzenmüller. Vanessa 2008). In this paper, I will briefly present the use of GIS in the
field of marine fisheries, inland fisheries and the future use of GIS in fisheries
management system. That includes not only the sea-related areas but also land- connected
part such as port, fisheries processing facilities and fisheries community, known as SocioEcological
Marine Connections (Da Silva. P.Patricia 2005)
