The Third International Symposium on GIS/Spatial Analyses in Fishery and Aquatic Sciences will follow the broad theme of the Second Symposium, which emphasized GIS as a tool for conducting spatial analyses, and aquatic sciences. This encompasses the ecosystem approach to fisheries management and the interrelationships between inland and marine fisheries and aquaculture and the aquatic and terrestrial environments in which the activities take place.

OBJECTIVES
* To highlight developments and applications of GIS/Spatial analyses in
Fishery and Aquatic Sciences;
* To exchange ideas and information; and
* To suggest further improvements, techniques and applications of GIS/Spatial
analyses in Fishery and Aquatic Sciences.

THEMES
* Effective and Affordable GIS for Fishery and Aquatic Information (especially
for the people in the developing countries)
* Spatial Fish Stock Assessment Modeling
* Spatial Fisheries Resource Management
