The COVID-19 pandemic has a direct effect on the proposed mobile app development as it addresses the problem of the fishers in how they can sell their goods locally. The mobile app will create a marketplace for agriculture and fishing communities to get a fair value of their catch and also correctly document their activities for better management and sustainability. In this situation, we need to guard and implement proper documentation of the food supply chain to avoid shortages, oversupply, and overpricing. Electronic documentation and traceability need to be adopted and implemented to minimize human-to-human contact. We will integrate worldview data tool from NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) will be utilized to validate fishing ground locations. Google Earth is then used to document the delivery for seamless traceability.
In this Pandemic situation, food is the number one concern of everybody. But people are limited to interact with one another, do their jobs, and earn their living so we need to protect the food supply chain. This includes the seafood supply chain. Documentation and traceability are required to fishers especially on areas that need to be protected. How do we keep the seafood supply chain sustainable? We need to utilize mobile devices and put them smarts to be able to trace the catch to the plate seamlessly.
We use the following online tools for the design of the mobile app;

For the mobile app development;
Java
Machine learning
Python
We also integrated worldview data tool from NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) will be utilized to validate fishing ground locations. Google Earth is then used to document the delivery for seamless traceability.
Our greatest achievement in this NASA Space App challenge was coming up with an all-women team and providing a solution for the food supply chain.
