Abstract
The combination of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technology marked the beginning in a new era in fisheries management by providing innovative answers to the challenges of conservation and sustainable resource use. This abstract explores the transformative impact of integrating these technologies in fisheries and their collective contribution to informed decision-making. Remote sensing technologies, encompassing satellite imagery and aerial surveys, have proven instrumental in monitoring and understanding marine ecosystems. Potential Fishing Zones (PFZs) represent a focused application within this integrated framework. This abstract highlights the capacity of these tools to provide timely and accurate information, fostering sustainable resource utilization and supporting the long-term health of marine ecosystems. As technological advancements continue, the collaborative application of RS and GIS stands as a cornerstone in the pursuit of a harmonious balance between meeting global demands for seafood and preserving the vitality of our oceans.
