The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council has issued its Invitation to
Submit Restoration Proposals for FY 2003: Phase II via the web at
http://www.oilspill.state.ak.us/admin/index.html . In 1989, the T/V
Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil into Prince
William Sound. In 1991, the U.S. District Court approved a civil
settlement that required Exxon Corporation to pay the United States and
the State of Alaska $900 million to restore the resources injured by
the spill, and the reduced or lost services (human uses) the resources
provide. Under the court-approved terms of the settlement, a Trustee
Council of three federal and three state members administers the
restoration fund to restore the resources and services injured by the
spill.Each year the Trustee Council invites individuals, private
industry, government agencies, and other interested parties to submit
proposals for projects to be included in the annual work plan.
Potential proposers are encouraged to download the invitation from the
web.  The invitation solicits proposals to begin implementation of GEM
(Gulf of Alaska Ecosystem Monitoring & Research Program).  It
identifies specific proposals that are being solicited and specific
instructions for submitting proposals.  Proposals are due September 4,
2002.
