Development of Buoy Information Monitoring System Based on 5G Against the Abandoned, Lost and Discarded Fishing Gears

Establishment of fishing gear management system becomes an emerging problem, to limit fishing gears (FG) usage and control the abandoned, lost and discarded (ALD) fishing gears. The ALDFG problem confronts investigation of the ownership, type and location information of fishing gears, subsequently, promoting responsible and effective fishing by FG marking, reinforcing the applicability of fisheries control measures including regulations, and effective resources control. This paper introduces a analytic concept and demonstrates an information monitoring system consisting of two parts: one for physical components for the fishery and the other for the ICT-based fishery information monitoring system for efficient fishing gear management. The ICT-based fishery monitoring system includes underwater/surface sensors pertaining to a net, by using Automatic Identification Buoy (AIB), IoT-based network management system, and smart situation-aware visualization.
