According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Invention Fishing represents a crucial means of sustenance and economic activity across various geographical regions. Given the significant role ofwater resources in a nation's economy, it is common for neighboring countries to engage in conflicts over control of marine territories. In Tamil Nadu, fishermen face persistent threats to their lives while at sea, oflen encountering danger from Sri Lankan soldiers who detain them, resulting in dire consequences. These issues arise primarily due to disputes over maritime borders between nations. Our paper aims to address this problem comprehensively and enhance the safety of fishermen .from all perspectives. To achieve this, we have developed an embedded system for monitoring our country's ocean borders using IoT (Internet ofThings) and RF (Radio Frequency) Transmitter Receiver technology. loT refers to a network of physical objects equipped with sensors, software, and other technologies that facilitate data exchange over the inlernet. The proliferation orT devices is expected to continue, with estimates projecting a rise from over 7 billion connected devices currently to IO billion by 2020 and 22 billion by 2025. These units oversee system performance, comparing fishermen's current positiohs with predefined values to determine whether they are within safe or restricted zones, with loT and RF communication units providing positional data for all ocean zones. The embedded unit interfaces with fishermen through TV displays, automatically guiding boats back to safe zones iflhey attempt to cross borders intentionally, using RF signals to detect zone boundaries. Our paper seeks to implement a system that offers timely warnings to fishermen, ensuring their safety and fostering peace along maritime borders, while also notifying their families and command systems via a mobile application developed with Blynk. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the safety and well-being 6f fishermen."
