The Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) is an independent non-profit corporation authorized pursuant to OPA 90 and guided by its mission: citizens promoting environmentally safe operation of the Alyeska Pipeline marine terminal in Valdez and the oil tankers that use it. 

The council is accountable to the people and groups with the most to lose from another catastrophic oil spill in Prince William Sound.
