In recent years, fog computing has emerged as a paradigm that brings computing, storage and networking resources closer to end users and devices at the edge of the network. One of the use cases for fog computing is IoT, where a large amount of data is generated by sensors that need to be pre-processed in place before the results are sent to the cloud for further processing and long-term storage. However, actual fog deployments are at their infancy. In this paper, we present the smart-marina project at La Marina de Valencia in which the LivingFog fog computing platform integrating opensource software and LoRaWAN technologies were used to process data collected from several sensors. We show the benefits of the platform in terms of latency reduction and bandwidth saving. Moreover, the platform has been used by particpants of the "Hack the fog" hackathon to deploy applications to test different innovative ideas on using the sensor data.
