About This Project
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are difficult to enforce due to their remoteness and often invisible borders. I have developed software that uses radar, Automatic Identification System (AIS), and cameras to track vessels and document potential violations, but the high cost limits accessibility. This proposal seeks to integrate a lower-cost camera, cutting expenses by $70k, and add a “loitering guard” feature to better target poachers, making the technology more affordable and effective.
