[SEMCO] Underwater Sound Source Webinar (Pile Driving; Wind Turbines), Wednesday, May 22, 2019, 12pm EDT

[Holly Morin]

****apologies for cross postings****
The ocean is full of both natural and anthropogenic (human-made) sources of
sound. Much attention has been focused on anthropogenic sound sources in
the ocean and potential effects on marine mammals, fishes,
and invertebrates. Regulators, decision makers, public affairs
officers, industry representatives, other members of the international
regulatory community, and others interested in underwater acoustics are
invited to participate in the *second* *Discovery of Sound in the Sea
(DOSITS)* <http://www.dosits.org/> *webinar on anthropogenic underwater
sound sources*. This webinar will take place* tomorrow, Wednesday, May 22,
2019, at 12pm EDT*, and will provide an overview of *pile driving and wind
turbines *as anthropogenic sound sources.

*Wednesday, May 22, 2019, 12:00 pm ET*

   - Dr. James Miller and Dr. Kathleen Vigness-Raposa: Pile-driving
   - Dr. Jakob Tougaard: Wind Turbines

The webinar will last ~ 60 minutes and provide an update on current
research efforts along with a review of noise mitigation measures.
An extended period of facilitated discussion will also be included. All
webinars are recorded and archived on the DOSITS website (*Decision
Makers Webinars* <https://dosits.org/decision-makers/webinar-series/>).
Please note, an archive of Dr. Robert Gisiner's May 1, 2019, webinar on

An outline of planned webinar presentation(s), with links to relevant
background content on DOSITS, is available on the DOSITS website. *Participants
are encouraged to review these outlines, as well as **archived webinars on
the potential effects of underwater sound on marine animals*
<https://dosits.org/decision-makers/webinar-series/webinars-2018/>*, before
