Small parcels were acquired in Valdez, Jack Bay, Ellamar and Horseshoe Bay and enhance the State of Alaska Marine Park System as well as providing important restoration benefits to the resources and residents of Prince William Sound. Strategically located small parcels have helped to preserve the high value habitat provided by the Valdez Duck Flats and have protected important riparian habitat essential for anadromous fish.
More recently, the Council funded the acquisition of the Meals Hill parcel (184 acres), which is a coastal property in the City of Valdez. This property, now owned by the City of Valdez, provides essential habitat as well as recreational opportunities.
