Abstract

Several marine research have attempted to design a data observation system using Internet of Things (IoT). In the future, this system is predicted to become a necessity for marine researchers as a strategic technology to continuously access data. Therefore, this study provides information on the development and application of observation and data collection systems using IoT. The coastal weather and tidal data were obtained via the automatic coastal weather station and acoustic gauge respectively. Meanwhile, the various research activities commenced in July, 2018. In the first year, an operational observation system was developed, while comprehensive baseline data such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and sea surface level were also collected. This collection system is reliable, provides real-time data, and easily accessible with internet connection. Furthermore, the Bintan Marine Observation System (The Bintan MOS) is also suitable for other uses such as; monitoring water quality and marine mammals, as well as disaster mitigation. The adoption of this system by other sectors potentially conditions marine researchers for data exchange, to fully understand the fluctuations in coastal weather of Western and Eastern Indonesia as well as the tropical and sub-tropical marine weather. This study successfully developed the Bintan MOS, capable of providing reliable information both off-line and real-time.Keywords:Marine observation systemCoastal weatherTidalBintan

Summary

Introduction

Marine and weather dynamics usually affect the various human activities in coastal areas (Halpern et al, 2008). This potentially increase the risk of coastal communities to climate change (Mafi-Gholami et al, 2020). Previous studies recommended that continuous observations need to be carried out over a long period before the information is considered reliable. Such technique has to be carried out in realtime before being considered as a tool in decision making at local, regional, and global scales (Dexter and Summerhayes, 2010). An extended real-time monitoring is the best solution to fully understand the dynamics of these changes and the resultant impacts on coastal and marine resources (Moersdorf and Meindl, 2003; Ruberg et al, 2007; Lynch et al, 2014)
