Summary: In recent years, the underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) has gained significant attention for various applications. Energy efficiency is a major challenge for UWSN due to restricted sensor energy and the difficulty of recharging or replacing batteries. This study focuses on designing a metaheuristics-based clustering and routing protocol called MCR-UWSN, which addresses the issues of underwater current, low bandwidth, high water pressure, propagation delay, and error probability. By utilizing cultural emperor penguin optimizer-based clustering (CEPOC) and grasshopper optimization (MHR-GOA) for routing, the MCR-UWSN technique demonstrates improved performance compared to existing techniques.
