High-Level Project Summary
Study the Underwater Technology strategy to develop the strategies of the fisheries in Oman for sustainable strategy via examining the relationship between the Underwater Technology and their effectiveness in the light of fish production development and seas management. The challenges have been solved by selected the fishing activity & technological intervention in different countries. This was followed by analysis, evaluation, consideration of qualitative and quantitative data to resolve it.The importance of applying the technological interventions to keep pace with developed countries, improve the exploitation of fish wealth to increase the country’s economy and achieve food security.

Detailed Project Description
The researcher was aimed to study the Underwater Technology strategy to develop the strategies of the fisheries in Oman. Furthermore, it aims to clarify the effectiveness of this technology and identify the barriers of adopting such technology and providing comprehensive information about technological interventions in different countries, moreover, to keep pace with developed countries. In further improving the exploitation of fish wealth to increase country’s economy and achieve food security. The research questions were designed based on the research objectives desired through an exploratory research and the sample study from the environment of the Ministry of Agricultural Wealth, Fisheries and Water Resources in Oman in the field of fisheries and all its general directorates. By analyzing qualitative and quantitative data and using PSPP software for accurate results, the researcher was evaluated the measure of the achievement to the research objectives and was presented the summary of the research finding. In addition, The recommendations provided as a proposed vision for the Ministry of Agriculture Wealth, Fisheries and Water Resources to activate Underwater Technology in achieving the sustainable development strategy for fisheries for the 2040 economic vision in light of some experiences of developed countries as follows: Form a promotional committee & Government initiatives as shown in details in the final report.
The researcher explored the results of the best practice analysis for Underwater Technology and linked to the literature review chapter to output the proper recommendations. The researcher was showed the importance of this research study and the extent of its contribution to the sustainable development of the Economic Vision 2040 as mentioned earlier in the literature review chapter. The researcher looking forward to achieve benefits from the fisheries sector to provide employment opportunities, increase domestic production of food insurance and increase government non-oil revenues as an economic diversification. The self-reflection was written to relate to what’s the researcher reflected. In addition, the researcher identified and explained the areas of future research and achieving success through scientific research related to underwater technology as suggested topic for future research “The Validation of the SOPs For Tropical Cases in Oman Through Underwater Technology”.
Finally, the researcher also discussed the legal, ethical and social aspects of ensuring the professional responsibility of the project.
Space Agency Data
Through my follow-up to the data presented by NASA and the clarity of the idea through images and videos, very accurate for a deep understanding, it opened up the horizons for me to think about choosing the title of research and interest in the field of underwater technology and since Oman's coast length is 3,165 KM square which runs along the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea, it is necessary to look and solve the issues facing the Sultanate of Oman to raise the economy as alternatives revenues of oil and gas. In addition to the tropical cases and cyclones that the Sultanate is facing and what is related to maritime security and infiltration from sea fronts.
What is SUBSEA, Oceanography, Return to the underwater space station and a lot of examples of innovation underwater technology
Hackathon Journey
creative innovative ideas to my project and increase my skills level more exciting to bring best people. The approach to develop my project By creating a website that includes an underwater technology community In facing the challenges of underwater technology, there are three important strategies as described on the website:
-Development fisheries strategies.
-Development standard operating procedures(SOPs) for Tropical Cases.
-Development maritime security strategies.
The members' of our community participate in Sharing creative ideas, best solution and built ongoing development strategies brainstorm of seas and ocean management.
