The first two webinars of the free, four-part Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS) webinar series on underwater sound will now take place in June and July 2020; subsequent webinars will still take place in the fall of 2020. 

• Fundamentals of Underwater Sound, Tuesday, June 2, 2020, at 12pm EDT (Tracianne Neilsen – Department of Physics and Astronomy, Brigham Young University)

• Review of the NMFS Regulatory Approach to Underwater Noise, Thursday, July 23, 2020, at 12pm EDT (Jolie Harrison –  Permits and Conservation Division, NMFS Office of Protected Resources)

Regulators, decision makers, public affairs officers, industry representatives, other members of the international regulatory community, and others interested in underwater acoustics are encouraged to participate in these 60-minute, informative webinars. Each webinar will consist of one, focused presentation followed by a period of facilitated discussion. Prior to each webinar, an outline of the presentation, with links to relevant background content on DOSITS, will be made available. All webinars will be recorded and archived on the DOSITS website (Decision Makers Webinars).
