Abstract: A coalition of spill-area resource groups has formed to promote education about the oil spill, restoration activities, and spill prevention/response. The Oil Pollution Prevention Education Program is a partnership between the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council, the US Forest Service, Prince William Sound Science Center, and Chugachmiut. The Restoration Office and others have participated in the planning efforts of the group. This amendment will provide funding support for two activities of the group related to the 10th anniversary of the spill, an art and essay contest and an informational newspaper. The art and essay contest will be open to school children throughout the spill area. The newspaper will be distributed through school districts in the spill area and at the Alaska SeaLife Center as part of the EVOS exhibit. In addition, funds are included for distribution of the Trustee Council's 30-minute video, which focuses on specific research projects as well as the habitat protection program, to school districts statewide.
