Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are considered as wireless sensor networks whose main task is to sense underwater events and send information to the sink. This information becomes valuable when the exact location of the occurrence is known. Generally, underwater sensor nodes are not equipped with devices such as the Global Position System (GPS) with the purpose of reducing network costs. Therefore, finding the location of the nodes should be done using another exact method. In this paper, we intend to find the location of the underwater sensor nodes by introducing a new method based on the Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA).We will compare the proposed method with the related methods in terms of the localization error rate and the number of nodes discovered. The results of the comparisons show that the proposed method can greatly reduce the error rate of the localization of the sensor nodes.
