Abstract

The marine ecosystem's health is paramount in maintaining biodiversity, livelihoods, and sustainable tourism. Yet, marine ecosystems are increasingly at risk due to human activities and climate change. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data systems provide cutting-edge solutions for tracking, analyzing, and maintaining marine health. AI provides real-time alerts for environmental change detection, whereas Big Data enables holistic insights for decision-making. Combined, they allow stakeholders to adopt proactive conservation measures. Recent technology has proven effective in monitoring coral reefs, tracking pollution, and the management of marine biodiversity. Applying these technologies to tourism management increases the resilience of coastal tourism destinations. Models of sustainable tourism grounded on data help to lower environmental damage and improve long-term ecosystem stability. Still, problems with data usage ethics and technological accessibility have to be taken care of. This work reviews modern applications, case studies, and theoretical models supporting technology-based marine preservation. It highlights the transforming potential of Big Data and artificial intelligence in supporting environmentally friendly sea travel.
