Application of Remote Sensing in Validations of Potential Fishing Zone Along Coast of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra: A Survey

Remote Sensing is one of the most efficient technologies. Image processing technology gives the accurate processed data for Potential Fishing Zone. Among ESRI, ENVI, ERDAS and ArcGIS are few image processing techniques. ArcGIS image processing technologies is very helpful as compared to others. The satellite derived data obtained from Electronic Display Board and Wave Rider Buoye is processed to get Potential Fishing Zone, Sea Surface Temperature and Ocean Color in real time mode. So to overcome the traditional method of fishing and by taking feedback undertaken through active fishermen identified at the major selected fish landing centers along the coast of Ratnagiri ArcGIS technology is used. With a view to validate the advisories and to improve the image processing technology for PFZ location we have discussed ArcGIS to get good catch for betterment of fishermen's.
