A monitoring system for fisherman: design and analysis of GUI

Abstract

The new monitoring system presented in our project will help to promote safe, effective and environmentally friendly fishery activities in Bangladesh. The system enables fishermen to know the location of the boats and fishing grounds in a timely manner utilizing advanced devices and thus, assists them in operational decision making and increasing their efficiency. Its functional and operational characteristics and advantages are placed on the nature of information technologies: the collection and processing of data in the mode of “online,” the optimization of resources for enhanced efficiency, observance of regulatory and quota of fisheries, application of information and analytical systems for management of sustainable development and environment, simplicity of usage and navigation, compatibility with the present marine equipment and expansion based on increase amount of fishermen and vessels using the apparatus. The system comprises MATLAB and the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network to enable effective communication and data transmission. There is general concern in relation to the structures being cost-efficient, energy-efficient, and simple enough for the majority of people to use. The proposed monitoring system is comprehensive and addresses all the existing problems associated with fisheries in Bangladesh helping branded fishing to flourish. There are prospects of improved livelihoods, conservation of the marine environment and fisheries and the promotion of sustainable fishing.
