EOS-6 (Oceansat-3) watches the ocean the way a doctor reads vital signs — chlorophyll levels, sea surface temperature, wind speed, all monitored continuously to track the health of India's coastal waters and the Indian Ocean fisheries that feed millions of people. Its data directly supports India's fishing industry by identifying where phytoplankton blooms concentrate fish populations, turning satellite imagery into practical advice for where boats should actually go.
