In a continued effort to provide timely, relevant, peer-reviewed resources on underwater acoustics for international decision makers and other stakeholders, the Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS) Project (www.dosits.org) is excited to announce the availability of short, instructional videos focused on four, key, acoustics topics:

• Science of Sound
• Marine Mammal Hearing
• Hearing in Marine Fishes
• Determining Mitigation and Monitoring through the Ecological Risk Assessment Process 

 

These videos are based on peer-reviewed DOSITS content and have undergone review by the DOSITS Advisory Panel. Video outlines with links to expanded DOSITS content are also available to view and download. To access the full suite of DOSITS videos, as well as other resources, please visit the Resources Section for Decision Makers on the DOSITS website (www.dosits.org/resources/decisionmakersresources/).

These videos are sponsored by The Exploration and Production, Sound and Marine Life Joint Industry Programme - www.soundandmarinelife.org.

Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS; www.dosits.org) is a comprehensive, educational website on underwater sound, designed to provide accurate scientific information at levels appropriate for all audiences, including decision makers.
