    Abstract The aquaculture expansion has made significant contributions toglobal food security, socio-economic development and, if imple-mented sustainably, can help preserve stable coastal environ-ments. This study explicitly details the rapid expansion of large-scale aquaculture growth across the Kolleru and Upputeru regionsof South India. We developed a novel classification method forautomated extraction of aquaculture ponds in the Kolleru zoneusing the Canny Edge-Otsu algorithm to segment and extract theponds applied to SAR-VV images in Google Earth Engine. Thisapproach enables the area estimation of dense aquaculture pondsare essential for monitoring and management purposes. Theresults indicated that this method could effectively map the aqua-culture ponds and the overall accuracy achieved in 2020 for theKolleru and Upputeru areas by 90.6% and 95.7%, respectively. Theaquaculture maps of this study can help government organiza-tions, resource managers, stakeholders, and decision-makersunderstand the dynamics and plan sustainable measures inthis area.
