Sensors to protect submarine cables --- Good idea. I admit I can hope that companies are doing that as well :) Though major submarine cables are not laid down so often - it takes years to complete one route. So probably most of the current cables don't have a 'smart' environment, but we can expect the future ones will do. Worth exploring more about the practices of companies that are deploying the cables!
