Artificial Intelligence and Edge Computing for Sustainable Ocean Health explores the transformative role of AI and edge computing in preserving and enhancing ocean health. The growing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), along with the Internet of Things (IoT) in generating wide coverage of sensor networks, and Edge Computing (EC) has paved the way for investigation of underwater as well as massive marine data, thereby generating huge potential for credible research opportunities for these domains. This book's journey begins with a broad overview of Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Ocean Health, setting the foundation for understanding AI's potential in marine conservation. The subsequent chapter, Role of Artificial Intelligence and Technologies in Improving Ocean Health in Promoting Tourism, illustrates the synergy between technological advancements and sustainable tourism practices, demonstrating how AI can enhance the attractiveness and preservation of marine destinations. The identification, restoration, and monitoring of marine resources along with the utilization of technology continues in Utilization of Underwater Wireless Sensor Network through Supervising a Random Network Environment in the Ocean Environment has been extensively dealt with. The technical challenges of underwater imaging, essential for accurate data collection and analysis has been discussed.

The importance of Explainable AI is discussed in chapters like Sustainable Development Goal 14: Explainable AI (XAI) for Ocean Health, Explainable AI (XAI) for Ocean Health: Exploring the Role of Explainable AI in Enhancing Ocean Health, and A Comprehensive Study of AI (XAI) for Ocean Health Monitoring, which emphasize transparency and trust in AI systems. Further, Revolutionizing Internet of Underwater Things with Federated Learning, Underwater Drone, Underwater Imagery with AI/ML and IoT in ROV Technology and Ocean Cleanup has been demonstrated using innovative approaches to addressing underwater challenges. The book also includes a Review on the Optics and Photonics in Environmental Sustainability, focusing on the role of optics in marine conservation. Security issues are tackled in Intelligent Hash Function Based Key-Exchange Scheme for Ocean Underwater Data Transmission, and the overarching potential of AI in marine resource management is discussed in Artificial Intelligence as Key-enabler for Safeguarding the Marine Resources.

Incorporates an inter-disciplinary approach in handling the issues of ocean health using emerging technologies Covers use of AI, IoT, Edge Computing, Federated Learning, Wireless Sensor Networks, Drone technology, and XAI Provides insights into the policies of SDG-14 and its applications
