Description |
The Marine Information System is designed to represent, query and analyze the marine species data collected from Mumbai Port region. This system provides the end users with query-based interface to help them analyze the data effectively. Two customized tools are provided along with the predefined tools in Arc View 3.2a to query the data. The species data collected in the study region are stored in MS Access. Arc View 3.2 is basically used to display the port map and display the stations in the study region from where data were collected. Of the two, one tool is used to query on map, using which, user can select any one station, and query data for that station. The other tool allows the user to query data and view the data in the form of tables or to view the distribution of a particular species in the port region. The distribution of the species from two different periods shows an increase or decrease in number of species for a particular period in the study region. It also allows the user to view the image of the species. The data were collected in the Mumbai Port region during November 2001, April 2002 and October 2002. This data were compiled and stored in Access database. Scripts were written in Arc Avenue to connect the database with GIS and to prepare user-friendly interface to query data. Scientists in our institute can view and query the base map of Mumbai Port with different layers and attributes posted in the website using Arc IMS. |
