The researchers brainstormed and came up with an idea to solve the problem that could replace expensive trackers with less expensive ones. The mobile application for the coastal law enforcers and fishermen runs on an Android Operating System (OS) mobile devices with Version 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the minimum suitable Software Development Kit (SDK), up to the latest version available. SeaGuard uses geofencing to virtually mark Marine-Protected Areas based on real geographic locations. Longitude and latitude are needed to locate vessels on the map. Vessels are represented with a red inverted-drop pin marker while Marine-Protected Areas are represented with a red highlighted area. SeaGuard has an SMS an in-app notification feature. The notification feature is triggered once a vessel crossed a marked boundary. Fishermen are notified with an SMS and in-app notification when they have crossed the Marine-Protected Area. In SeaGuard, coastal law enforcers could create spot reports. Only registered administrations, coastal law enforcers, and fishermen could use the application. The application requires internet connection and Global Positioning System (GPS); thus, one must be able to connect to the internet and uses a mobile device with a built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) feature for him/her to use the application. The application could help conserve marine-protected areas by minimizing and eventually eliminating illegal fishing activities at the most possible and least expensive way. The application, does not only benefited the coastal law enforcers in implementing the rules and regulations at sea but also the livelihood of fishermen and citizens living in coastal areas and most of all to protest, conserve and rehabilitate our marine ecosystem.
