MWSNs (Maritime Wireless Sensor Networks) are becoming more valuable for coastal surveillance systems as they enable monitoring of sea activities, the environment, and security threats in real time. On the other hand, the harsh marine environment, dynamic topology, and energy constraints greatly reduce the efficiency and dependability of these networks. The purpose of the study is to focus on cross-layer design and optimization implementation at the Maritime Wireless Sensor Networks level to improve the effectiveness of MWSNs in coastal surveillance applications. With regard to the proposed method, it is approached from the physical and MAC network layers together with the application layer which allows for the balancing of energy costs and expenditures, latency, throughput, and signal strength. In addition, the framework proposes adaptive modulation and energy efficient routing with collaborative data gathering designed for the marine environment. Windows of performance have been integrated into the traditional layered architectures; those new constraints may still be met while providing enhanced system surveillance performance under cross-layer design. The exercises performed demonstrate improved outcomes with lower resource expenditure. An intelligent, scalable, resilient, and sustainable MWSN system constitutes the principal contribution of this research in the context of coastal security and environmental monitoring.
