The Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS; www.dosits.org) project provides accurate scientific information related to underwater sound for all audiences, including regulators and decision-makers. In addition to a comprehensive website on underwater sound, DOSITS products include interactive webinars (archived to the DOSITS website); interactive eBooks; instructional videos; fact sheets; and structured, online tutorials. To identify high need topics and formats for future resource development, a brief (~12-minute), anonymous survey has been created. The DOSITS Team would like to gather as many responses as possible so that the needs of the U.S. and international regulatory community are fully understood. Your responses will directly influence and help focus DOSITS’ continuing development efforts.

All members of international decision-making community (government employees, federal and state contractors, NGO employees, and industry representatives that deal with underwater sound and/or marine animals) are encouraged to complete this survey. Responses will be collected through Monday, July 22, 2019.
