The Indian Ocean Region (IOR) is gaining substantial strategic relevance in the 21st century and increasing number of nations from within and also extra-regional powers are maintaining their strategic presence in the region. The rich undersea resources in the region is attracting varied global powers to deploy their strategic assets to lay claim to such resources. The maritime forces are also aggressively maintaining their strategic presence to safeguard their national interests. The sudden and unregulated rise in the maritime activities may cause serious damage to the marine ecosystem and also there is a fit case to ensure reliable systems for early warning of natural disasters. Science and technology will always remain the driver for sustainable development and thus efforts are required to understand the underwater domain to facilitate safe, secure, sustainable growth for all in the region.
