“…Such platforms would enable the sharing of information and promote widespread engagement. A promising technological framework for enhancing conservation efforts is the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT), a global network of interconnected underwater devices capable of sensing, interpreting, and reacting to their environment (Domingo, 2012;Cardia et al, 2019). The IoUT employs powerful tracking technologies and embedded sensors, all connected via the internet and smartphones, offering an innovative approach for the Blue Economy sector.…”

Attaining an equitable Blue Economy requires reconsidering historical extractive usages of natural ocean capital in favor of more sustainable activities. Scuba diving is an expanding industry, and several examples illustrate how the diving sector has assisted with transitions to sustainable economic activities. In certain countries diving tourism generates revenues comparable with fishing industries, yet the sector remains underrepresented within marine conservation efforts. Therefore, we present five actions tailored to enhance the diving sector’s participation in the Blue Economy: i) Organize the fragmented sector via international associations and federations; ii) Recognize usage rights for natural capital equal to extractive activities; iii) Modernize the sector using technology to improve connectivity and data sharing; iv) Invest in the sector by engaging private and public funding and subsidizing critical infrastructure to enable equitable access; v) Foster a sense of community by training and supporting local leaders, thereby ensuring more equitable participation by including women, indigenous people, and the youth. Diving represents one of the only endeavors that enables citizens to actively support the Blue Economy and help to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14, “Life Below Water”; therefore, the diving sector is uniquely poised to help address conservation goals and sustainable development.

“…As seen in Table 5. Studies covering underwater communication devices, two of them fall back on a two-part solution, in that the transmitter / receiver is attached to the back and the diver simply connects a wearable to the device on the back [188], [189]. Furthermore, apart from [193], none of the wearables can reach a range of more than 20m, which is not sufficient for a meaningful use until now.…”
