Title: Mass-Balance Model of Trophic Fluxes in PWS 98330-BAA

Project Year and Number: 1998: 98330-BAA

Other Fiscal Years and Numbers for this Project: 2000: 00330-BAA, 1999: 99330-BAA

Principal Investigator (PI): Thomas Okey (University of British Columbia)

Managing Agency: NOAA

Assisting Personnel: Daniel Pauly

Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Research

Injured Resources Addressed: Not Specified

Abstract: This project will construct, validate, and disseminate two models of trophic interactions among the organisms of Prince William Sound, as required to synthesize the vast amount of information gathered before and after the oil spill, and to evaluate its impact at the ecosystem level. Project components are: (1) an initial workshop devoted to model specification by researchers from the Gulf of Alaska region, (2) an extended study by project staff, and (3) a dissemination phase, in year two, consisting of a training workshop for potential users of the software implementing the model and the production of a CD-ROM for the public domain, incorporating an interactive graphic version of the software and an extensive database on the biology and local/traditional knowledge on fishes of Prince William Sound.
