The Environmental Monitoring Committee (EMC) is tasked by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 to conduct a monitoring program that provides early detection of any environmental effects due to oil industry operations in Cook Inlet and to determine whether oil industry operations are causing adverse impacts to Cook Inlet’s ecosystem. The Committee formulates advice and recommendations for the Board of Directors. Committee members generally have a background in science and work together with staff to advance projects and facilitate communications among citizens, regulatory groups, special interest groups, and industry.
