Abstract GPS based Mobicast routing protocol in Underwater Sensor Network (USN). used a Mobicast routing protocol which can maximize the data collection by minimize the energy consumption. When normal sensors are used then it can be recharged but whenever the sensor nodes are used in underwater cannot collect the data efficiently. By using GPS (Global Positioning System) we take the snapshot of the sensor nodes when it is deployed in underwater. In this, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is used which forms three types of zones. The range which is covered by AUV at time “t” is known as Zone of Reference (ZOR). Then it finds the high delivery rate node in that zone which is called Zone of Forwarding (ZOF). Through this it can wake up the nodes in time period “t+1” is known as Zone of Relevance (ZOR (t+1)). Then take another snapshot to find the nodes which are not the correct range because of the ocean current. By using GPS based MRP we can solve the hole problem and also the problems which are occurred in terms of ocean current. Through this the efficiency of the data collection can be increased.
