Project Description: **Project Description:**
With the increase in maritime transportation, ship propellers and engines cause significant physical harm and habitat degradation to marine life. Endangered species are especially vulnerable to these threats. Additionally, uncontrolled fishing and the inability to detect natural obstacles (such as rocks) result in irreversible damage to both ships and marine ecosystems. Currently, most marine vessels lack smart systems capable of detecting these creatures and natural structures and taking preventive actions.
This project aims to develop an **Arduino-based smart system** that can detect marine life and natural obstacles, and automatically stop the ship’s propeller when necessary. In doing so, it contributes to both environmental protection and maritime safety, supporting sustainable and responsible marine transportation.
