Boatnet Border Alert System for Fishermen: Enhancing Maritime Safety and Legal Compliance

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.
