Monitoring of the marine environment has come to be a field of scientific interest in the last ten years. The instruments used in this work have ranged from small-scale sensor networks to complex observation systems. Among small-scale networks, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a highly attractive solution in that they are easy to deploy, operate and dismantle and are relatively inexpensive. The aim of this paper is to identify, appraise, select and synthesize all high quality research evidence relevant to the use of WSNs in oceanographic monitoring. The literature is systematically reviewed to offer an overview of the present state of this field of study and identify the principal resources that have been used to implement networks of this kind. Finally, this article details the challenges and difficulties that have to be overcome if these networks are to be successfully deployed.
海洋环境监测在过去十年中已成为一个科学研究领域。这项工作中使用的仪器范围从小型传感器网络到复杂的观测系统。在小型网络中，无线传感器网络（WSN）是一个极具吸引力的解决方案，因为它们易于部署、操作和拆卸，而且相对便宜。本文的目的是确定、评估、选择和综合所有与海洋监测中使用 WSN 相关的高质量研究证据。通过系统的文献回顾，提供了该研究领域的现状概述，并确定了用于实现这种网络的主要资源。最后，本文详细介绍了如果要成功部署这些网络，就必须克服的挑战和困难。
