What is PWSRCAC? Independent non-profit organization formed in 1989 after the Exxon Valdez oil spill. A local voice for communities and citizens on oil industry decisions that affect them. Organization is guided by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) and our contract with Alyeska.

Working Relationships Today, the oil industry and regulators consult PWSRCAC and vice versa on oil transportation and related environmental issues.

Smithsonian research with PWSRCAC: Analysis of Coastal Invasions Nationwide Analysis of Coastal Invasions Literature-Based Synthesis and Online Database of All Reported NIS Field-Based Surveys to Provide Standardized Measures and Baseline to Track: (a) New Invasions Over Time (b) Patterns of Spread Used to Guide and Evaluate Management strategies Sampling in tanker ballast water

Conducting the Surveys: Methods 20 PVC panels and 2 wood blocks were deployed at 10 different blocks per embayment Panels are constructed of PVC plastic and wood to attract species that settle on hard surfaces and those that bore into wooden structures. October 2004-KJL

Conducting the Survey: Methods ▪They were then retrieved after an approximate “soak time” of 3 months in the water ▪Panels were placed 1m below mean low water and attached to fixed structures already within the embayment

Processing the data ▪ Individual organisms of each different morphotype were identified, collected, and preserved. ▪These specimens were then identified to species by SERC personnel and by outside taxonomists October 2004-KJL

Field Results From 2000 Final Project Report 24 non-indigenous species have been introduced in Alaska –15 species recorded in Prince William Sound –13 species in Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet

Other Research Activities Ballast Water Exchange Experiments Green Crab Laboratory Studies Potential research: hull fouling

Future Project Directions Less emphasis on supporting baseline research More emphasis on: –Ballast water treatment technologies –Green crab monitoring Legislative issues
