Utilizing IOT and Geospatial Analytics for Sustainable Fisheries Management

This study developed a software application that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) devices and weather data to visualize prime fishing locations using advanced spatial data techniques. The application features a dashboard that processes and displays real-time data, providing insights into fishing trends, fisherman activities, boat locations, and environmental conditions. The application uses the Graham scan method to generate a GIS grid heatmap for visualizing fish populations and trends, enhancing fisheries management capabilities. Comprehensive testing and refinement ensured the application's usability and adaptability. The results demonstrated high user satisfaction, with a 91% rating in usability and accuracy. The Graham Scan method successfully mapped fishing zones, achieving a 97.96% overlap in spatial-temporal data analysis, proving essential for data-driven decision-making in sustainable fisheries management.
