This project is a Spring Boot application for marine conservation management that integrates a MySQL database and organizes conservation events, projects, species, and habitats.

Project Overview

Marine Conservation is a web-based system designed to manage data on conservation events, projects, marine species, and natural habitats. The application helps organizations and researchers track initiatives and environmental information efficiently.^1234567

Features

• Spring Boot backend for rapid development and reliable architecture.⁵
• MySQL database integration, supporting automatic creation if the database does not exist.⁶
• JPA/Hibernate for ORM and schema generation.⁶
• Management of marine species, habitats, conservation projects, and events with extensible domain models.²³⁴¹
• Swagger Link: http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java 17 or newer.
• MySQL Server running locally on your port.
• Maven (wrapper scripts provided: mvnw for Unix, mvnw.cmd for Windows).⁸⁹

Database Setup

Update your MySQL server with the following credentials or change them in src/main/resources/application.properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:yourPORT/marine-conservation?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true 
spring.datasource.username=yourDBuser
spring.datasource.password=yourDBpass
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop
spring.jpa.show-sql=true

Building and Running

Use the Maven wrapper to build and start the application:

On Unix/Linux/macOS:

./mvnw spring-boot:run

On Windows:

mvnw.cmd spring-boot:run

Running Tests

Compile and execute unit tests using:

./mvnw test
