**The major objective of the Hydro-Quest** project is to enhance ocean exploration and conservation by deploying an advanced autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that facilitates comprehensive marine data collection, analysis, and documentation outreach. This objective aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14: Life Below Water, by supporting the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources. Hydro-Quest aims to contribute to the achievement of a healthy and resilient ocean, in line with the Ocean Decade's Outcome 2, by providing high-quality data essential for understanding marine ecosystems and promoting resilience against human impacts. Additionally, the project aligns with Ocean Decade Outcome 7 by inspiring and engaging the public through its exploration initiatives, fostering greater awareness and understanding marine life. Through this objective, Hydro-Quest not only advances technological innovation in ocean exploration but also plays a pivotal role in global efforts to sustain marine biodiversity and promote informed ocean management.
