Abstract

The Portable Solar-Powered Weather Observation Monitoring System for Sea-Turtle Nesting aims to protect sea turtle eggs and monitor the weather conditions around their nesting sites using advanced sensor technology. The system employs the SR501 motion sensor to detect the hatching of sea turtle eggs, triggering immediate notifications to users via smartphones through the Blynk app. This enables real-time monitoring and timely intervention to ensure the safe journey of hatchlings to the beach. The DHT22 temperature sensor continuously monitors the temperature within the nesting sites, providing crucial data for analyzing hatchling gender, as temperature influences sex determination in sea turtles. Additionally, the DHT22 sensor records ambient temperature, offering valuable insights into the environmental conditions surrounding the nests. A raindrop sensor measures rainfall percentages to support conservation efforts further, helping users anticipate and respond to weather changes that could impact the nests. Powered by solar energy, this portable system ensures sustainable and uninterrupted monitoring. By integrating these sensors and utilizing the Blynk app for real-time monitoring, the project not only enhances the survival rates of young sea turtles but also gathers essential data for ongoing conservation initiatives. This comprehensive approach ensures that both immediate protective measures and long-term conservation strategies are effectively implemented, contributing significantly to the preservation of sea turtle populations.
