Abstract:

This project is the administrative and outreach component of the integrated Long-term Monitoring of Marine Conditions and Injured Resources and Services proposal submitted by Lindeberg et al., referred to as Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA). This proposal includes: fiscal management of non-Trustee Agency subawards; convening and management of the Outreach Steering Committee; engagement with Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOSTC) staff, Trustees, and Public Advisory Committee members; and travel and logistics support of the Science Review Panel, PI meetings, plus outreach and community involvement activities. The Prince William Sound Science Center (PWSSC) will serve as the fiscal agent for GWA with Hoffman as Administrative Lead. This continues our role as with GWA during FY12–16. Hoffman is also picking up the role of Outreach and Community Involvement Lead for FY17-21. As a member of the Program Management Team, PWSSC contributes to the coordination and management of over two dozen scientists generating monitoring data and synthetic information about the ecosystems and marine conditions within the spill area. PWSSC has extensive fiscal experience with NOAA, through which all non-Trustee Agency funds are distributed; with the various fiscal agents for the non-Trustee Agencies participating in GWA; and with GWA’s Trustee Agency principal investigators, for whom we coordinate semi-annual reporting to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and EVOSTC. We have previously and will continue to support travel and logistics for all Science Review Panel members. PWSSC is also the proposed administrative lead agency for the HRM program proposal. This arrangement allows for efficient fiscal management of both programs. PWSSC has relationships with members of the Outreach Steering Committee, who will guide the development of products to inform the public and managers about changes in the environment and the impact of said changes on injured resources and services.
