Prince William Sound Regional Citizens Advisory Council

The Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council is a non-profit corporation based in Anchorage, Alaska. The organization employs 12 people and generates approximately $4 million in annual revenue. The Council focuses on preventing pollution and harm from crude oil transportation in Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. They achieve this by advocating for the interests of 18 member organizations, representing communities impacted by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, as well as commercial fishing, aquaculture, Alaska Native, recreation, tourism, and environmental groups. The Council's work involves promoting public awareness of oil industry operations in the region. They actively monitor, review, and provide advice on oil spill prevention and response plans, Alyeska's and tanker operators' operational practices and environmental protection capabilities, and government policies, permits, and regulations concerning the Valdez Marine Terminal and associated tankers.
