Underwater Surveying

Underwater surveying is the process of examining and mapping underwater environments, such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. This work is essential for various purposes, including archaeology, environmental studies, construction projects, and marine navigation. Surveyors use specialized equipment like sonar, underwater cameras, and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to collect data and create accurate maps of the underwater landscape, including its topography and any submerged structures. The information gathered helps in managing resources, preserving marine ecosystems, and ensuring safety for maritime activities.
