Accordingly, this study develops an aquatic-pollution detection and tracking scheme, designated as AquaView, based on a Wireless Sensor Network deployed over an offshore region (i.e., a Waterborne Wireless Sensor Network (WWSN)) to track the moving boundary of a pollution spill such that cleanup operation can be effectively monitored and controlled.
