Abstract:In this review, the focus is the research of scientists which studied different GIS applications in marine areas. Based on literature review, the scientists stressed the use of GIS to assess and predict effects on marine environment. Marine spatial data are fundamental for a sustainable environmental management of marine areas, largely surrounded by countries with borders to the sea. In modern age, known as ''information age'', data acquisition, analysis and management are essential for rapid, precise and economical resolutions. GIS applications were recommended to supply a principle from combining past and present circumstances in order to predict future for marine areas. This review provides an example to how GIS applications can be used in the monitoring, conservation, management, sustainable development and environmental protection stages of marine areas.
Chlorophyll-a is used as an indicator of the mass of phytoplankton, and as a reference for estimating organic influence in the aquatic area. This study discusses the spatio-temporal distribution of chlorophyll-a in the Marmaris Bay. The aim of the study is to be a source of information on how to use remote sensing technology in the marine field. Chl-a level is identified using Sentinel 2A satellite images in the May 2017 and May 2018. The chl-a levels were higher in the coastal areas than the open sea. The results obtained from the satellite images should be compared with the laboratory results and the accuracy should be confirmed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
