**Apologies for cross-postings**
The Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS) Project introduces the
science and uses of underwater sound and provides easy, efficient
access to timely peer reviewed content on the effects of underwater
sound on marine animals. The DOSITS team, led by Gail Scowcroft of
the URI Office of Marine Programs (OMP), announces the launch of a
newly redesigned website (http://www.dosits.org) that takes advantage
of the advances in web technology since the website was originally
launched in November 2002.
The redesigned DOSITS site offers a much more interactive learning
environment. The front page uses Flash-based interactives that allow
users to quickly immerse themselves in exciting content, from the
songs of humpback whales to interviews with cutting-edge scientists to
the use of acoustics to measure waves. Interactives have also been
created for the sites galleries, including an extensive Audio Gallery
and Scientist Gallery. These two sections contain a variety of
multimedia resources.
Please visit the site and let us know what you think via our public
input survey (in the left hand navigation on the DOSITS homepage). To
receive more information about the Discovery of Sound in the Sea
Project, please contact OMP’s Holly Morin via email
or by phone (401-874-6414).
