Sea Turtle Tracking System

Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) is a global leader in the study, safety and protection of sea turtles. The mission of this is to guarantee the survival of sea turtles through advocacy, research, education and conservation of the habitats upon which they depend. Sea turtles are significant measures of the health of the world’s marine and coastal ecosystems. In this paper, a smart cost effective and low power consuming control and monitoring system were proposed to provides complete real-time tracking alert to the personnel in charge of monitoring the safety of the turtle in the event of any threat along with the indication of their real-time location using a Neo-6M GPs sensor and RF module for tracking and proximity tracking respectively. The proposed system enables real-time tracking accuracy of 98.75% for an average of seven different locations, with a fast response time of 0.45seconds to detect new GPS location when the sensor is varied along a tested area.
