What is an advantage and a disadvantage to echo-sounding?

An advantage of echo-sounding is its ability to provide accurate and real-time measurements of water depth and seafloor topography, making it essential for navigation, fishing, and marine research. A disadvantage is that echo-sounding can be limited by factors such as water turbidity and the presence of marine life, which can interfere with signal clarity and reduce measurement accuracy.
