Commercial aquaculture has grownup manifold in the past four decades and is considered an important food-producing sector worldwide. However, the sector has received equal criticism for unplanned development and its impact on important coastal resources. Coastal aquaculture in India is regulated through the Coastal Aquaculture Authority Act 2005 with restrictions on land classes and mandatory buffer zone provisions. Hence aquaculture development can happen only in a permitted land class adhering to the regulations of the Government of India. However, unregulated and unlicensed aquaculture operations continue to exist. The advancement of geospatial techniques coupled with satellite data products can offer a wide range of choices in aquaculture development regarding site selection, impact assessment, macro-level planning, and aquaculture zoning. The important criteria in aquaculture planning were land use, distance from the water source, source water characteristics, soil quality, soil texture, adjoining land type, and accessibility. These factors can be integrated through the geographical information system (GIS) to assess the zones for aquaculture expansion. Likewise, multi-temporal data analysis capability helps to quantify the impacts of aquaculture on other resources and to direct the sector toward sustainable development without multiuser conflicts. This study highlights the issues in coastal aquaculture development, criteria selection in spatial planning, and spatial decision support systems to manage aquaculture development in a sustainable and responsible manner.
