Development of a spatial data infrastructure for coastal management in the Amirante Islands, Seychelles
چکیده انگلیسی

Spatial data infrastructures play a key role in coastal management decision making in the Seychelles. This paper describes four components of a web-based spatial data infrastructure that were developed to facilitate coastal management of the Amirante Islands in the Seychelles. The four components include: (i) the institutional arrangement for using spatial data effectively to address local management challenges, (ii) the production of island habitat maps from remotely sensed data, (iii) the tasks undertaken for promoting access to and use of this spatial data, and (iv) an example of how this data is used for a specific coastal management application in the Seychelles. By outlining these four components, the value of this spatial data infrastructure framework for tropical coastal management in the Seychelles is demonstrated.


► A spatial data infrastructure for coastal management in the Seychelles is presented.
► Institutional arrangements for using geospatial data in coastal management are described.
► The production of island habitat maps from remotely sensed data is detailed.
► Tasks undertaken for promoting access to and use of geospatial data in the Seychelles are outlined.
► An example of geospatial data used for coastal management in the Seychelles is provided.
