The Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS) program hosts a resource rich website (https://dosits.org/) aimed at introducing users to the science and uses of Sound in the Sea by people and animals, with specific sections on how marine mammals use underwater sound and the potential effects of underwater sound on marine mammals.

To highlight and engage educators with the resources, DOSITS is launching a new (and free) online Educator Professional Development Certificate program. We are inviting the first cohort of educators to participate in the online program over the Spring of 2024. The program will be limited to 20 formal (grades 5-16) and informal science educators. We encourage marine mammal specialists from aquaria and whale watch operations to participate!

To participate, please register using the link below.  Registration is open until Monday, April 1, 2024. We will be in touch by Thursday, April 4th regarding registration status. DOSITS Educator Professional Development

Please note, we will host additional cohorts of education professionals over the next year, and we will reach out directly to registrants who were not selected for the first cohort when registration opens for the next program.
