The DOF and MYSA has taken the initiative to develop the GIS Web-based system using remote sensing and GIS. The development began in 2018. The system has been developed in-house using internal expertise, facilities, and existing ICT infrastructure. Therefore its development does not imply additional costs to the government. It has contributed to the development of skills and expertise of the agency's internal workforce. The specific goal of the project is to meet Biosecurity requirements to export ornamental fish abroad including to the European Union (EU) and other countries. The idea behind this system arose from the initiative taken in completing the CAR audit DG (SANTE)/ 2015-7562 on 09th March-17th March 2015 on Malaysia to assess animal health control in aquaculture farms by simplifies and strengthens the planning, management and monitoring of fisheries activities. This can contribute to improving the standard of living and socio-economics of the farming community and further drive the country's fish industry to be more viable. The system deserves to be awarded the WORLD SUMMIT ON THE INFORMATION SOCIETY PRIZES 2023 because it has successfully helped facilitate the planning, management and monitoring in Malaysia through system innovation developed in a blue ocean strategy. The system has achieved one of the objectives of the National Agro-Food Policy (DAN) 2011-2020, to increase the income of agricultural entrepreneurs. The focus on modernization of the agricultural sector translated into the National Agro-Food Policy (DAN) 2.0 and ministry programs under the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (RMK-12), can be achieved through the application of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data. Focus was given to research and development (R&D) based on IR4.0 technology to increase productivity and agricultural yields, such as smart systems for unmanned machinery. Year 2022, DOF and MYSA agreed to expand to 3 mains scope including inland, coastal and marine zones.

The applied research (GIS web-based system) is replicable as the research findings by these researchers and technial fisheries officers (independent group of researchers) can copy the same process and arrive at the same results as the original study. Hence, establishing its validity. The research study is replicable (or repeatable) as the entire research process is conducted again, using the same methods but new data, and still yields the same results. This shows that the results of the original study are reliable. These geospatial web services support visualization, analysis, data access and replication. Key GIS services include Mapping, Query, Location, Network Analysis, Editing, Geoprocessing and Imaging. These services run on clusters, can access data from local caches, and can be scaled out by growing the cluster.

The applied research (GIS web-based system) project is sustainable when defects can be corrected, it is able to meet new requirements, future maintenance is made easier, and it can cope with the changing environment. The project is sustainable in the terms of where it is broadly used to indicate programs, initiatives and actions aimed at the preservation of a particular resource. However, it actually refers to four distinct areas: human, social, economic and environmental, which is also known as the four pillars of sustainability. One of the best ways to be more sustainable is to be more efficient. Web-based applications used to be very limited in functionality. However, advances in technology, security, and internet speeds have greatly increased the potential scope of GIS web-based systems.

The WSIS is a two phase UN Conference that defined the issues, policies and frameworks to tackle the Information and Communication technologies to foster development. Through GIS, DOF can show many different kinds of data on one map, such as streets, buildings, and vegetation. This enables people to more easily see, analyze, and understand patterns and relationships. Networks are chaotic and constantly changing. People and organizations plug in and out as they see value. By developing GIS web-based system, we can begin the work of building community. For example, Programs for community health must include community evaluation through data gathering. Public health experts are ignorant, underprepared, and may create health initiatives that are possibly useless and irrelevant without conducting a proper assessment of a community's needs and assets. Various tools are used to gather community data, from ethnographic observations to key informant interviews and surveys. John Snow used maps to identify the origin of the London cholera outbreak more than a century ago. Snow produced outbreak maps using the information he had about the community's residents' health, linking it to their locations on a map to eventually identify the epidemic's origin. GIS are used to highlight community assets and depict spatial is a tool that can collect, organize, retrieve, analyze, and display data in relation to place. McLafferty and Grady investigated the geographic distribution of free urban community clinics that provide services for women's health and GIS showed significant disparities in racial/ethnic groups' access to healthcare. Community clinics redistributed their resources to reach a larger portion of the local population after the information was spread. This project promote of WSIS values in the community by bringing value to others in the community development network, especially the fisheries industry stakeholders, farmers, breeders and fishermen in Malaysia.
