Abstract: In March 1999, the Trustee Council earmarked an estimated $115 million of Restoration Reserve funds for a long-term monitoring and research program in the spill area and adjacent northern Gulf of Alaska. Development of a draft plan for what is tentatively named the Gulf Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM) program was initiated in FY 99 and will continue through FY 02. In FY 00, the main steps will be to present a draft plan for comment by the general public and spill-area stakeholders, coordinate and refine the plan in association with such other large-scale programs as the U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) and the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), provide a revised draft plan for review by the National Research Council (see Project 00360), and contribute to development of the FY01 invitation which will request proposals for projects needed to accomplish the transition to the long-term program. Project 00630 will be accomplished through the combined efforts of the Restoration Office and Chief Scientist.Proposal: Not Available
