Abstract
This study investigates the potentially revolutionary role that the Internet of Things (IoT) may play in combating the urgent ocean pollution problem and promoting the growth of ecologically sound marine ecosystems. An approach that is data-driven has become essential in light of the fact that pollution poses a risk to the delicate balance of marine life and puts the future of the seas in jeopardy. The user can get real-time data on water quality, pollutant levels, and plastic trash dispersion if the user installs sensors and devices that the IoT enables. This will allow us to gain a greater knowledge of the patterns and causes of pollution. Using the plethora of information at people’s disposal, the system can develop innovative intervention tactics that successfully and efficiently combat ocean pollution. In addition, early warning systems powered by the Internet of Things might make it easier to respond quickly to oil spills, reducing the negative effects on the environment. This research highlights the importance of cooperation among stakeholders and underlines the need for public awareness and education to create changes in behavioral patterns. The adoption of technologies related to the Internet of Things is the most important step that can be taken to protect marine biodiversity and to create a brighter, more sustainable future for seas.
