An underwater internet of sensors could soon watch every passing ship, helping protect endangered whales from invisible threats beneath the waves

Canadian researchers developed a new underwater sensor network. This system successfully monitored seismic activity and marine mammals. It also recorded ship traffic and tidal movements in the St. Lawrence estuary. Scientists can now better understand underwater environments and protect endangered whales. This integrated approach offers efficient data collection for conservation efforts.
