In the quiet depths where sunlight fades and human eyes lose their reach, sonar emerges as a silent sentinel—mapping underwater worlds with precision unseen, reshaping ancient fishing traditions. Modern royal fishing operations, often shrouded in tradition, rely on sonar technology not merely for catch but as a strategic tool of surveillance, enabling selective targeting while revealing hidden ecological vulnerabilities. This dual role underscores a deeper paradox: while humans harness advanced instruments to deepen control, nature responds with adaptive resilience shaped over millions of years.
Defining Sonar: Silent Surveillance Beneath the Surface
Sonar—Sound Navigation and Ranging—uses sound waves to detect and map underwater objects without visual intrusion. Unlike traditional fishing methods reliant on sight or physical tracking, sonar penetrates darkness and murky waters, revealing fish schools, reef structures, and terrain
