The proposal is built on three main pillars:
Traffic Alleviation: The primary goal is to introduce a system of water channels and commuter boats to provide an alternative to road transport, thus reducing traffic overflow and vehicle congestion.
Modern Water Transport Network: The project establishes a network of water stations and bays along the coast to facilitate commuter boat travel. The plan includes designs for these harbor/bay stations to create an efficient transport system.
Harnessing the Blue Economy: The initiative recognizes the massive economic potential of Kenya's coastline and aims to contribute to the ocean economy, which is a key area of growth globally.
About
The project proposes a comprehensive network of water channels and commuter boats to serve as a public transport system. The plan includes the design of specialized harbor and bay stations to facilitate efficient water travel. The project will also introduce foreign tourists who are eager to explore the Indian Ocean waters.
Key Benefits
The project has significant potential for future development and integration:
Blockchain Integration: The project's founder, Archiebold Manasseh, is exploring the use of decentralized blockchain technology to address modern challenges and manage the system.
Community Integration: The system has the potential to expand its services to include community-focused programs, such as integrating free swimming classes in coastal towns as a way to engage with the local population and promote water safety.
Tourism: The project will also introduce Eco-Tourism for foreign tourists who are eager to explore the Indian Ocean waters.
Applications
The project includes a "Marine Data Collection App" for camera surveillance. This application is designed to be compliant with key international standards, including Darwin Core, OBIS, and Ocean Colour Remote Sensing. It features a data collection form to capture essential marine dat
