SMART REAL TIME RESCUE SYSTEM FOR FISHERMEN

Abstract

In India, fishermen being caught and imprisoned or even killed is a common news that come across. Technology
has developed so far and yet we fail to secure our borders and people. As a means of their livelihood they sail into
the deep sea and most of them have conventional fishing boats with no modern technological provisions. The
country's sea borders are not recognizable for the common fishermen. This paper proposes an eminent alert system
for fishermen as they cross the border and the location of the fishing boat is indicated using GPS. Additionally, an
IoT gateway system is used to send information about a fisherman to coastal guard system on the seashore
indicating that the fishing boat has crossed the maritime border using internet. Thus, costal guards in the seashore
can assist and provide additional help to those fishermen from anywhere. Staying in the memory line of the lost
lives of Indian fishermen, this device has been implemented to help others not to navigate beyond the maritime
border. On the whole, it is a honest attempt to build a cost effective alert system for fishermen.
