Echolocation, or biosonar, is an active process, used by the species that have it for sensing the environment when vision is ineffective, for example at night or in turbid water. It involves the production of sound, and the reception of echoes that return from objects. By comparing the outgoing pulse with the returning echoes — which are modified versions of the outgoing pulse — the brain can produce images of the surroundings. (Jones, Gareth. 2005.

Sway motion is the sideway motion of a ship in maneuvering. It is a translational type of motion influenced by internal and external forces. These forces may result from rudder-hull interaction, propulsor, wind, or sea current. (Adumene, Sidum & Ikue-John, Hope. 2022. Offshore system safety and operational challenges in harsh Arctic operations. Journal of Safety Science and Resilience. 3. 10.1016/j.jnlssr.2022.02.001.)

Atoll lagoons form when an island completely subsides beneath the water, leaving a ring of coral that continues to grow upwards. At the center of the ring is a body of water that is often deep. The combination of coral growth and water creates a lagoon. (https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/lagoon.html)
