The mission of the Oil Spill Region Environmental Coalition (OSREC) is to preserve the integrity of the marine ecosystem and coastal communities of Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. OSREC works with the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council in its efforts to provide public oversight of the oil transportation industry within the region, to encourage improvements in industry operations that reduce environmental risks associated with oil transportation, and to foster involvement of coastal communities in decisions by and concerning the oil industry that affect coastal residents. OSREC is comprised of conservation and environmental organization members in the Exxon Valdez oil spill-affected region including Alaska Center for the Environment, Alaska Marine Conservation Council, Cook Inlet Keeper, Kachemak Bay Conservation Society, Kodiak Audubon Society, and Prince William Sound Alliance.

Walter Parker represents this member entity on the PWSRCAC Board of Directors.
