Managing Agency: NOAA

Assisting Personnel: Daniel Pauly

Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Research

Injured Resources Addressed: Not Specified

Abstract: This project will provide an additional year of funding for Project /330, under which a food-web model of Prince William Sound was constructed and initially disseminated. The food web model forms the core of a prototype CD-ROM, which also includes food web models from three other aquatic ecosystems of Alaska, user-friendly databases on the biology and local/traditional knowledge of the marine organisms of Prince William Sound, and links to related information and resource agencies. In FY 00, this project will (a) produce a final version of the CD-ROM and distribute it to resource managers, schools, communities, and the general public, (b) provide hands-on guidance and education on food-web based management approaches to resource managers and other potential users, and (c) publish several articles in peer reviewed scientific journals.
