Despite the rapid growth of wireless sensor networks in the last few years, research on marine wireless sensor networks has been minimal. Basic and applied research on the development of these unique sensor networks is greatly needed. This paper presents a perspective on the development of marine wireless sensor networks. The current research and development of wireless sensor networks are based on the assumption that these networks are deployed in a land environment. Relevant protocols and design specifications are developed under this condition. This makes the deployment of currently existing wireless sensor networks in marine environments extremely challenging. New techniques and algorithms are needed to achieve this goal. The objective of this paper is to study the unique characteristics and major challenges imposed on the development of novel marine wireless sensor networks. This will open the door for a wide range of applications as well as new areas of relevant research in wireless networks.
