Principal Investigator (PI): Jim Fall (EVOSTC)

Managing Agency: ADFG

Assisting Personnel: Charles Utermohle

Research Location: Trustee Council Office

Restoration Category: Research

Injured Resources Addressed: Subsistence

Abstract: The Restoration Plan (1994) identifies four services as lost or reduced by the oil spill -- subsistence, commercial fishing, recreation/tourism, and passive use -- and a recovery objective for each. Although the status of these services was discussed briefly in the Update on Injured Resources and Services (1996), no formal studies have been sponsored by the Trustee Council to measure their recovery. With an eye to the 10 Years After symposium, this project will evaluate the status of each service. Methods include reviewing existing information provided through ongoing EVOS research as well as gathering additional information.
