Desenvolvimento de um dispositivo sensor para monitoramento de ninhos de tartarugas marinhas

Abstract

The preservation of sea turtles is crucial for marine ecology and global biodiversity, as they play important roles in maintaining coastal and marine ecosystems. Currently, some non-governmental organizations dedicated to this cause monitor nests on beaches along the brazilian coast manually, which requires time and human resources. To streamline this process, this study proposes the implementation of an IoT device equipped with sensors for monitoring sea turtle nests. Utilizing Long-Range, Low-Power (LoRa) communication technology, the device aims to enhance monitoring efficiency and accuracy, thereby contributing to the conservation of these vulnerable species.
