Have you ever heard of Rovs? What are they? Are ROVs valuable tools for researching underwater archeology? ROVs, remotely operated vehicles, are used as tools for researching underwater archeology. ROVs can be helpful tools for research, but when it comes to the cost, safety, and that they do pretty much the same as humans do, they aren’t very helpful and worth the price they’re listed at. ROVs used to be only available to large companies with big budgets, but now they are beginning to believe that with only large companies able to buy them, how are they ever supposed to understand our oceans. That is why they pride themselves on providing the most affordable prices for everyone. On one side of the debate, people will argue that ROVs are valuable for underwater research. However, ROVs are absolutely not valuable to underwater research because they do the same as humans, the cost is too expensive and they can be a hazard to the environment. …show more content…
While critics might argue that they are valuable, that information is not accurate. ROVs are unoccupied underwater robots, connected to an operator via a series of cables. ROVs are not being supervised by humans, so then if something were to happen and the ROV would spill gas or liquid into the ocean, it could harm many of the sea life. ROVs can also be an environmental danger because if the ROV went down to far and got caught on plants and small sea animals the animals and plants could be in danger and could even
