International Workshop on Remote-Sensing Applications to Fisheries

Noumea, New Caledonia - November 21, 2008

A workshop on fisheries was held to address remote-sensing applications to fisheries, adapted to the particular needs and problems of Western and Central Pacific Island countries. Presentations and discussions covered various topics related to remote sensing of coastal and open ocean waters and their applications to fisheries. Applications to fisheries included: improvements of fisheries operations to increase efficiency of fishing effort, assessment of fish stocks health, growth and recruitment, and ecosystem dynamics. Particular issues arising in the use of remote sensing for fisheries in the tropical island regimes were reviewed and recommendations on the use of remote sensing in the context of fisheries were presented.
