Much of the Council’s work is done through technical committees made up of volunteers, and include Board members, technical experts, and local citizens with an interest in making oil transportation safer in Alaska. The committees provide an avenue for public participation in the Council’s work.
These committees work with staff on projects, study and deliberate current oil transportation issues, and provide advice and recommendations to the Council’s Board of Directors.
The Council’s five technical committees are:
- Oil Spill Prevention and Response
- Port Operations & Vessel Traffic Systems
- Scientific Advisory
- Terminal Ops & Environmental Monitoring
- Information and Education
The Council needs volunteers! Are you familiar with oil spill planning or response, marine science or engineering, journalism, mass communication or public relations? We need committee volunteers with knowledge in these areas! Please consider volunteering for the Council. For more information, visit: Volunteering for the Council
