Toward the First Decision Support System for Marine Aquaculture Monitoring in Algeria

Abstract

The fisheries and aquaculture sector has significant potential for economic diversification and job creation, particu-larly in isolated coastal and rural areas. The contribution of this sector to the economy must increase since the context requires it. Therefore, its management in Algeria represents a crucial problem because of its impact on the environment and human life. This paper presents the first extensible, scalable, agile, and incremental decision support system allowing for the preservation of this wealth in Algeria. The developed system is structured in three parts: data collection, data storage and processing and restitution of this data in a dashboard and mapping. To conclude, this system can help provide better visibility to Algerian decision-makers, allowing optimal management of this wealth with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of Algerian citizens.
