Development of a Web-Based Monitoring System on Seaweed Production

This study focuses on the development and evaluation of a web-based seaweed production monitoring system designed to support sustainable aquaculture efforts in Eastern Samar, Philippines. The system, developed for the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Region VIII, integrates both web and mobile applications to serve administrators and seaweed farmers across coastal communities. A Hybrid-Agile development model was employed, combining iterative and flexible Agile practices with structured planning to ensure efficient and user-centered system creation. The system?s quality was evaluated through the ISO/IEC 25010 model with feedback from 30 users, including seaweed farmers, agricultural officers, and BFAR personnel. The evaluation revealed excellent ratings in functionality, usability, and security, with very good ratings in reliability and maintainability. The findings highlight the successful combination of user-focused development and digital monitoring to enhance local fisheries management and promote sustainable seaweed farming.
