The *Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS)* <http://www.dosits.org> Team
is pleased to announce that it will again facilitate a *free*, *four-part
webinar series on underwater sound* for regulators, decision makers, public
affairs officers, industry representatives, other members of the
international regulatory community, and others interested in underwater
acoustics. Each webinar is scheduled for approximately 60 minutes and will
consist of one, focused presentation (topics listed below), 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. *Participants are encouraged to review these outlines, as
well as archived DOSITS webinars
<https://dosits.org/decision-makers/webinar-series/>, prior to each
webinar.* All webinars will be recorded and archived on the DOSITS
website (Decision
Makers Webinars <https://dosits.org/decision-makers/webinar-series/>).

New to this year, the DOSITS Team will be *offering a certificate of
professional development, or the like*, in accordance with webinar
participation and other activities. Details on this is forthcoming, and
