Arduino based Maritime Border Alert System for Fisherman

Fishermen’s livelihoods are so insecure that if they cross the country’s border accidently, it is treated as a serious offence. The severity of the situation seems to worsen when impoverished fisherman are shot and their boats are taken. The fundamental cause of this problem is that marine borders between countries are difficult to identify. The term “maritime border alert system” refers to a system that assists fishermen by informing them of the country’s border while protecting them and their boats. Technology such as global navigation satellite system, universal mobile telecommunications network and ultrasonic sensors are used to achieve this purpose. The proposed framework includes a low-cost maritime boundary crossing warning system for fishermen.
