Abstract
The Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park is famous for shallow water and an affluent diversity of aquatic plants and animals. It preserves the endangered mammals and marine life for global significance. Routine monitoring and surveillance of the fish and aquatic species is necessary without any type of disturbance to the natural environment as a protected area of the marine national park. An aquatic bio-optical communication system is a feasible method for transferring the data from the benthic of the park to the sea surface and terrestrial area using the natural resources and sediments. The physical and geographical conditions near the Ram-Setu bridge and the surrounding area of marine national park have shallow water, low water pressure, low salinity, availability of light at benthic, sediments of limestone, and presence of pumice stones that make it more reliable. The model is based on natural resources like optical light source, deployment of buoys for transceivers, and canals in the stone and will be used for providing messages and warning instructions to the fisherman, pilgrimage tourists, merchant ships, and in patrolling security forces.
