Collaboration between multiple federal, state, university, and private entities with funding provided by the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council makes the Gulf Watch Alaska program possible. The program consists of more than 20 principal investigators and many additional support personnel working on 11 projects within four distinct but integrated components (environmental drivers, nearshore ecosystem, pelagic ecosystem, and herring research and monitoring). Our Program Management Team administers the program and leads efforts to synthesize analyses across the program with support from the Science Coordinating Committee that includes representatives from each component. An independent Science Review Panel, composed of esteemed oceanographers and ecologists, provides internal technical oversight and review for the program.
