Deep Sea Fishermen Patrol System for Coastal Intruder Positioning

This paper introduces a design which deals with an innovative handheld device which would transform the fisherman community as the eyes and ears of the Indian Coastguard. Upon sighting an intruder or poacher, the device allows fisherman to calculate its exact location using the integrated GPS receiver, and radiates the information to the nearest coastguard station via GSM communication. The coastguard is then able to dispatch a patrol boat to intercept the intruder. The device would also warns the fisherman (beep and vibrate) when they approach near the national sea border and controls them to trawl (go fishing) within the correct region safely. Community surveillance allows the coastguard to patrol efficiently because they could go only on an alert call and not to patrol at random.
