Hydroacoustics

Hydroacoustics is the study of sound in water. It involves using sound waves to gather information about underwater environments, such as oceans, rivers, and lakes. Scientists and engineers use hydroacoustic techniques to map the seafloor, monitor fish populations, and detect underwater obstacles or structures. By analyzing how sound waves travel through water and bounce off objects, researchers can create detailed images and gather data about marine life and habitats, which is crucial for conservation, navigation, and resource management.
