Abstract:
Lost and derelict fishing gear is devastating for the marine environment, causing marine accidents and decreasing the catch of fish. Therefore, South Korea is attempting to reduce this lost and derelict fishing gear by developing a new monitoring system that can track the location of fishing gear and manage this type of debris. This monitoring system will use what is known as the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) for marine communication. Marine communication encounters a signal strength problem when a wave invades the first Fresnel zone. This article suggests relaying by drones to solve this problem and extend the coverage of communication modules.
