Abstract: This project is synthesizing the results from 12 years of post-spill study in the EVOS damage assessment and restoration programs in the context of anthropogenic and natural factors causing change in the northern Gulf of Alaska ecosystem. The result of the work will be an integrated synthesis book. The book will consist of three major sections: (a) the basic structure and function of the ecosystem, (b) how it changes over time and how it responds in disturbances, and (c) the effect of the spill: how our understanding of the ecosystem has matured and what future path will help us better understand this valuable marine ecosystem. The book will be a major product of the EVOS restoration program and help set the foundation for GEM.
