CMFRI signs pact with ISRO to Save Coastal Wetlands

The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) have collaborated to map, validate and protect smaller wetlands in coastal regions. The programme is aimed to restore them through coastal livelihood programmes. The pact was signed to develop a mobile app and a centralised web portal that will have a comprehensive database of wetlands that are smaller than 2.25 hectares in the country.
