Environmental awareness is a key to sustainable ocean monitoring and exploration. To meet the ever growing requirements of the ocean monitoring and exploration applications, and to preserve a sustainable blue ocean for next generations, a cognitive acoustic underwater network (CAUNet) that is aware of the coexistence of multiple underwater acoustic systems will be designed. The project goals include investigating acoustic spectrum usage via data collection and analysis, designing algorithms, software and hardware for acoustic spectrum sensing and spectrum management, and evaluating the feasibility and performance of the proposed work via simulations, and lab and field experiments. This project will make significant contributions to the underwater network research community by improving the efficiency of UANs while making them more environmentally friendly. The research activities in this project also provide a rich environment and platform that can facilitate educating and training students from high school to graduate level and inspire students in underrepresented groups to pursue research in science and engineering. Moreover, this project will motivate and enable a wide range of research and outreach activities within the underwater communications, networking, engineering, and marine science communities, and promote progress towards practical solutions in diverse aquatic applications.

环境意识是可持续海洋监测和勘探的关键。为了满足海洋监测和勘探应用的不断增长的要求，并为下一代保留可持续的蓝色海洋，认知声学的水下水下网络（CAUNET）将设计多个水下声学系统的共存。项目目标包括通过数据收集和分析研究声频谱使用，设计算法，软件和硬件，以进行声谱传感和频谱管理，并通过模拟以及实验室和实地实验评估拟议工作的可行性和性能。该项目将通过提高UAN的效率，同时使其更加环保，从而为水下网络研究社区做出重大贡献。该项目中的研究活动还提供了丰富的环境和平台，可以促进和培训高中生到研究生水平的学生，并激发代表性不足的小组的学生从事科学和工程研究。此外，该项目将激励并使水下通信，网络，工程和海洋科学社区中的各种研究和外展活动，并促进在多元化水生应用方面实用解决方案的进步。
