Research Location: Cook Inlet/Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Monitoring

Injured Resources Addressed: Not Specified

Abstract: This project will develop an integrated database containing digital environmental and spatial data for the Cook Inlet watershed. The system will facilitate access to data from a wide variety of sources about the resources and services injured by the spill as well as base data sets important to understanding the environment of the watershed. This database will support monitoring, management, and restoration. The system will provide access through the Internet to the public and private sectors. Water quality data sets derived from the watershed will provide the cornerstone of this system thereby facilitating monitoring of both baseline parameters and chronic sources of marine pollution. From both public policy and natural resources management perspectives, this project will protect the governments' investment in restoration by making information derived from restoration activities and water quality monitoring programs available for management of the watershed in a manner that will promote the recovery of the injured resources and services.
