Fisherman Navigation and Safety system

The fisherman’s crossing the borders and identification of locations in the sea is becoming a difficult task with existing equipment’s provide to the fisherman’s as a result they cross the borders.The sea border between thecountries is not easily identifiable, which is the main reason for this offence. In this project, we have proposed a method which protects thefishermen by logging their entries and exits in the harbour using embeddedsystem, notifying the country’s sea border to them by using Global Positioning System (GPS) We use GPS as a method to track the current location of the fishermen. The GPS’current latitude and longitude coordinates are sent to the database where the administrator utilizes it for continuous tracking and monitoring of the user, and can alert the user.

In this paper we have proposed a method which protects thefishermen by logging their entries and exits in the harbour using embeddedsystem, notifying the country’s sea border to them by using Global Positioning System (GPS), GeoFencing and Mobile Systems. We use GPSas a method to track the current location of the fishermen. The GPS’current latitude and longitude coordinates are sent to the database wherethe administrator utilizes it for continuous tracking and monitoring of theuser, if in distress using their credentials and last known location, currentlocation predictions can be made. Another benefit being the logging procedures help official authoritative agencies to identify fishermen and their activities for their own safety and security. Keywords: Navigation, GP
