The information system

Karwar: A new equipment which helps fishermen pinpoint the presence of fish in the sea and provides information on tides and natural disasters such as cyclones and the tsunami, has been installed at Sadashivgad in Karwar.

The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (Incois) an autonomous body under the Union Ministry of Earth Sciences, has invented this system. It provides information such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction and pressure and sunlight radiation. The equipment has been installed with assistance from the National Study Centre, Government of Goa, and the Post Graduate Centre for Oceanography, Karwar.
