I have found a really friendly use interface that we could implement it in our application, and now we are working on make it simple as possibole.

Idea

We are mainly working on a system which controls the gates of the beach and keeps tracking of any event that may affect the user. Provided that the user gets to have a mobile application which helps him through his search for the safest beach. It also gives him a list of what to do and to keep away from the beach. When the system decides that this beach isn't safe it close the gates, alerting all the user on site to leave. Though this project we are trying to monitor the weather and HABs. The user might be exposed to UV radiation with large amount without noticing the harmful effects of that. So, one of our main goals is to provide the app with some precaution in each case for the user to take. We are also trying to introduce this idea to the market. Because we believe that Egyptians needs to be introduced to this technology. That's why we started our project with a prototype of the app, to give the market a suitable time to adapt.

"The coastal line is rocky in most places such as Al-Max with narrow sand beaches in embayments and relatively wider beaches in the eastern and western parts of the city such as Gleem, and Asafra beaches. The part of the beach which lies between El-Anfoushy and Abu Qir shows a variation in the degree of consolidation of the beach sand. Beach sands vary from loose to fairly well indurated deposits of quartz shells and shell fragments of recent gastropods and lamellibranches. In the western part of the beach (i.e. Al-Max), the beach is composed of loose carbonate sand, white in color and oolitic in texture. The loose carbonate oolitic sand gradually changes to a fairly consolidated oolitic limestone forming ridges skirting the coast. The bottom sediments of the inshore area are predominantly covered by sand, which vary from fine in the west to coarse shelly in the east. This sandy zone merges seawards into a silty-sand belt. In the north west area, the silty-sand gradually changes into sand-silt-clay, sand-silt is followed outward by a clayey-silt in the northern area. Minerals of light fraction are represented by calcium carbonate which is introduced in the form of shells or shell fragments. The sediments at the Al Max area were poor in the amount of heavy minerals than those at Abu Qir. This is characterized by high frequencies of pyroxenes, amphiboles and epidots and low percentage of tourmaline and zircon (1.1% and 2.4% respectively)."

We are working on a mobile application which will provide the user with a certain data about each beach -here locally in Alexandria-.
Those data are:

1. Temperature
2. UV Radiations Index
3. Sea Level
4. Wind Speed degree
5. Humidity
6. Salinity
