Geo Smart Coastal and Marine Management

Co-Host

The aim of this session is to provide a comprehensive overview of key pieces of adaptation geospatial work which is relevant to marine and coastal stakeholders.

  • Adaptation of geospatial in responding to the effective management of marine biodiversity and marine resources.
  • Application of hydrographic survey and mapping from ship-borne platforms.
  • To emphasis on techniques relevant to coastal and marine data capture, analysis, integration and visualization.
  • To discuss on the current policies and objectives to protect the marine environment and discussing the threats to coastal and marine industry in this region.
  • To determine areas balance economic, cultural, and environmental issues, to ensure that our limited resources are available now and for future generations

Geo-Smart Climate Change Management and Disaster Management

This session will explore the potential and needs to summon the geospatial technologies available in responding and managing disaster efficiently.

  • Experiences and good practices of disaster risk management by the countries across the region, with a focus on the role and contribution of information and geospatial technologies.
  • To discuss geospatial-based information advances in products, software, approach and methodology used for disaster risk assessment and mitigation.
  • Case studies by technical experts and users from across the globe with its prospective role in the domain.
