  • DOSI Mini-Course: The Deep Sea, Humans & Management. Ahead of a planned workshop in Fiji, postponed due to travel restrictions posed by COVID-19, DOSI hosted a virtual course “The Deep Sea, Humans, and Management”, designed for Pacific Islanders, in October 2020. The course was intended to reach ocean stakeholders from all backgrounds and knowledge levels, and is now freely available publicly as part of DOSI’s desire to drive open access science. In this course, deep-sea experts present content which spans science and policy, including deep-sea fishing, deep-seabed mining, and relevant conservation practices.
  • Deep-Sea Life: Bi-annual informal publication for the deep-sea community highlighting current science activities, workshops, opportunities etc.
  • DOSI Webinars 2014/15: A series of presentations by global experts about 2014 & 2015 deep-sea projects and issues.
  • Online Speaking Textbook: The Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI), supported by INDEEP (www.indeep-project.org), is building a series of lectures on the fundamentals of deep-sea ecology and issues surrounding the stewardship of our deep oceans. These lectures are delivered by experts from across the globe, thereby giving everyone with access to the internet and an interest in this exciting ocean realm the opportunity to learn from the masters! Further lectures will be added to this channel with time. Watch them now.
  • DOSI Deep-Sea Mining Library: With the generous help of Daniëlle de Jonge, the deep-sea stakeholders now have a comprehensive library containing over 340 papers on a variety of aspects of deep-sea mining. Please contact us with any new additions or suggestions. Short manual for using the DOSI Zotero use here.
  • The InterRidge Vents Database Version 3.3
  • Upgraded and revised in September 2015.  There is now a total of 632 confirmed or inferred active vent fields in the database and the corresponding kml file for visualisation in Google Earth (download here). Please contact Stace Beaulieu (stace@whoi.edu) or the InterRidge Office (interridge@gmail.com) if you’d like to edit or add a listing to the database.  Related vent databases and further information can be found here.
  • NOAAs Deep-Sea Coral Data Portal.  NOAA has launched the Deep-Sea Coral Portal to better serve the data needs of ocean resource managers and scientists. The Data Portal has a map displaying the distribution of more than 300,000 deep-sea corals and sponges. This is the most comprehensive collection of deep-sea coral and sponge records in U.S. waters. It is built on the National Database for Deep-Sea Corals and Sponges maintained by NOAA’s Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program.
