SHORT SUMMARY
Weighted overlay analysis combined 2022 Sentinel-2 MSI imagery (land-use/land-cover), a 20 m DEM and local settlement maps to delineate the most suitable zones for fresh- and brackish-water aquaculture ponds across 32,928 ha of Andoni LGA. Seven suitability classes were generated, with “very highly suitable” zones covering 278 ha (0.8 % of the area), guiding local‐government investment and environmental permitting. ouci.dntb.gov.ua
