Abstract:
The Boatnet Border Alert System is an
innovative solution designed to enhance maritime safety
and promote legal compliance for fishermen operating in
coastal and border regions. The system utilizes advanced
GPS, communication technologies, and real-time
monitoring to provide alerts and guidance to fishermen
on their proximity to national borders, restricted zones,
and protected maritime areas. By offering early
warnings about crossing into illegal fishing zones or
approaching maritime boundaries, the Boatnet system
aims to reduce unintentional violations of fishing
regulations, prevent illegal activities, and ensure the
safety of fishermen operating in hazardous or unfamiliar
waters.
Ultimately, Boatnet enhances maritime
governance, minimizes the risks of accidents or fines, and
supports sustainable fishing practices in compliance with
national and international laws. The system is also
integrated with local maritime authorities for rapid
intervention when necessary, facilitating a collaborative
approach to resource management. To evaluate the
system's effectiveness, factors such as Accuracy (A),
Speed (S), Coverage (C), Cost Efficiency (E), and User
Adoption (U) are rated on a 0-10 scale. The overall score
(S) is calculated and the results are shown in the graph.
