Acoustic Surveying

Acoustic surveying is a technique used to gather information about underwater environments by analyzing sound waves. It involves sending sound signals (like sonar) into the water and measuring how long it takes for them to bounce back after hitting objects, such as the seafloor or marine life. This method helps create maps of underwater structures, assess fish populations, and study ecosystems. It’s widely used in marine research, fishing, and environmental monitoring, providing valuable data without disrupting the habitat. Essentially, it allows scientists to "see" beneath the surface using sound rather than light.
