Abstract
This study presents the design and development of a Boundary Alert System for fishermen, employing the Flutter programming language. The system utilizes International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL) The maritime border system was initiated and developed by the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS). When a fishing vessel approaches within 500 m of these boundaries, the system triggers visual and auditory alerts for the fishermen and sends text notifications to boat owners. This technology enhances safety and compliance with maritime regulations, contributing to the well-being of fishermen and the sustainability of the fishing industry. The implementation of the Boundary Alert System introduces a proactive approach to maritime safety and regulatory compliance within the fishing industry. By harnessing the capabilities of Flutter and the IMBL, this technology not only ensures the safety of fishermen but also promotes sustainable practices in the fishing industry. The proposed system represents a significant step towards the integration of modern technology to address challenges faced by the maritime community, ultimately contributing to the broader goals of maritime governance and conservation.
