operational and logistical issues associated with the response to accidental
spills from exploration and development projects in ice-affected
environments. Workshop funders are: Minerals Management Service, Alaska
Clean Seas, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Cook Inlet
Spill Prevention and Response, Prince William Sound Oil Spill Recovery
