The Council sponsors many studies to help our work to reduce pollution from crude oil transportation in Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska.
This work depends on quality, accurate research. The Council regularly retains experts to conduct independent research on oil transportation safety and the environmental impacts of the Valdez Marine Terminal and tankers.
