As sea levels on the Korean Peninsula continue to rise, concerns about the climate crisis are intensifying. This rise is leading to more noticeable effects, including changes in tidal patterns, wave dynamics, coastal erosion, and shifts in coastal submarine topography and sedimentation. To combat these issues, there is an urgent need for erosion control measures and high-quality data collection on submarine features such as coastal ridges, shoals, and reefs. Overcoming the economic and technological constraints of traditional depth measurement techniques, this study employed Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) to perform depth measurements in areas with submerged rocks and shallow depths. The results met the IHO 1a standard, achieving accurate depth measurements in areas with an average depth of less than 2.0 meters. These findings demonstrate that ASVs can be effectively used for marine environmental monitoring and management in coastal regions.
