Description A geographical information system (GIS) is used to create oceanography database and to do the spatial analysis of physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the coastal waters of Goa, India. Vector maps depicting distributions of currents, temperature and salinity and other chemical parameters are converted to raster format. The procedure employed can be applied to other environmental management tasks like risk analysis, fishery resources etc. This paper mainly emphasis on the methodology applied in creating GIS database for the oceanographic data using the software like image processing (ERD AS). Enterprise GIS (ESRI) and Oracle 9i for RDBMS and also the problems faced while creating the oceanographic database which is mainly dependent on the parameters related to water column
