Using the geographic information systems, thematic maps were made to identify the different land uses in the study site, and the exchange rate in the afore mentioned periods was calculated. As a result, it was got that the shrimp aquaculture activity land use increased between 2007 and 2016 by 19,76% and, between 2017 and 2018 by 19,70%. This concludes that aquaculture production activities have an accelerated growth in the sector, influencing the change in land use and bringing consequences such as the decrease in the body of natural water. |
