Desenvolvimento de uma infraestrutura em nuvem para monitoramento de ninhos de tartarugas marinhas

Abstract

This Course Completion Work proposes a monitoring system for sea turtle nesting, using the ThingsBoard platform to create a monitoring dashboard. The study seeks to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and community involvement strategies to improve the conservation of these species, whose existence has long been threatened by various predatory factors. The application on the ThingsBoard platform makes it possible to obtain essential data in real time, such as movement and temperature from devices installed inside the nest. The implemented dashboard will provide a clear visual representation of the status of each monitored nest, automatically generating an alert when critical events occur, such as an excessive increase in temperature or movements that cause the incubated eggs to hatch. The dashboard, in addition to providing crucial information for researchers and environmentalists, will be accessible to the local community through an exclusive mobile application. The project review encompasses ongoing improvement strategies, emphasizing collaboration with local experts and active community participation to optimize the effectiveness of the monitoring application. The central role of the dashboard developed on the ThingsBoard platform is to receive and present data from devices installed in turtle nests, to monitor temperature and movement. This system facilitates understanding and analysis of data, providing insights into the possibility of egg hatching, and contributing to the effective conservation of sea turtles.
