Former ISRO Chief: Space-Based Oceanography Crucial for Blue Economy

Imagine India is like a big house with a huge backyard garden that is the ocean.

Dr. Somanath, who used to work for India's space agency, says we need to use cool tools from space, like special cameras on satellites, to understand our ocean garden better.

These tools can help us see what's happening in the ocean, like where fish are, if the water is healthy, and if we are using the ocean's gifts wisely.

He also thinks we need more underwater sensors and smart computers to help us.

By doing this, India can make sure its ocean garden provides lots of food and helps people who live by the sea.

It's like using advanced technology to take care of a very important part of our country.
