Case studies
Application of mapping activities and products in support of fisheries research and management is diverse and illustrative of the potential for applying new technologies to ecosystem-based management. The conference showcased many examples of the collection, processing, and analysis of geospatial data, as well as the development of geographic information systems focused on numerous ocean and fisheries tasks, from data analysis and interpretation for management purposes, to data sharing among users and display for public involvement. The following is a summary of the types of work on display.
