To develop a model for Selecting Suitable Site for Shrimp farming in the Coastal areas of Tuticorin Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques. The site suitability analysis for shrimp culture delineate with the help of Multi Criteria Evaluation (MCE) technique. Satellite Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) have a decisive role in providing regular, synoptic, multi-spectral coverage of an area. With the launching of the Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS) a wide range of remote sensing data at different Spatial and Spectral resolutions are now available for the monitoring and management of natural resources. GIS technique help in the integration of databases covering a variety of relevant parameters in an efficient manner. At the present, the following parameters are considered in site selection conflicting uses of area, settlements, waste lands, salt pan, pollution, distance from the sea, distance from the land, coastal topography, and water bodies, soil, geology and geomorphology. The main goal of this research is to delineate the suitable area for shrimp farming through the various Image Processing Technique, Field Survey and GIS analysis, using IRS P6 LISS III and various parameters data bases.
