About

Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council Programs:Herring Research and Monitoring ProgramThis is an Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council-funded program designed to improve our ability to predict herring populations in Prince William Sound. This is to be achieved by a mixture of monitoring efforts to provide information needed by the age-structure-analysis model, and research projects that provide a better understanding of aspects of the herring life cycle that are necessary for the development of new models. The program also addresses assumptions in the measurement program and looks to incorporate new technologies. This program includes investigators from PWSSC, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, United States Geological Survey, and University of Washington. The program works closely with the Gulf Watch Alaska program.Gulf Watch AlaskaThe Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOSTC) is supporting a five-year, $12 million long-term monitoring program in the Gulf of Alaska region affected by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. The monitoring program, called Gulf Watch Alaska, involves more than 25 scientists from multiple agencies and universities and seeks to provide data to identify and help understand the impacts of multiple ecosystem factors on the recovery of injured resources. This program is expected to be 20 years in length, but is planned and funded in five-year increments. It builds a legacy of restoration research and monitoring by the EVOSTC and federal and state agencies dating back to 1989. The program includes sites in Prince William Sound, lower Cook Inlet, the Gulf of Alaska, and the outer Kenai Peninsula coast.
