DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground on Bligh Reef in Alaska in 1989 and spilled 11 million gallons of oil, it changed Prince William Sound forever. The catastrophe disrupted the region’s biological system, killing countless animals and poisoning habitats that to this day no longer support some of the local species. The effects have also profoundly altered the way people use this region. Nearly three decades later, changes in recreation use run counter to what was initially expected. Instead of avoiding Prince William Sound, tourists and visitors flock there. Economic revitalization efforts have resulted in increased wilderness access as new commercial enterprises offer nature tourism in remote bays and fjords. This increased visitation has caused concerns that the wilderness may again be threatened—not by oil but rather by the very humans seeking those wilderness experiences. In Sustaining Wildlands, scientists and managers, along with local community residents, address what has come to be a central paradox in public lands management: the need to accommodate increasing human use while reducing the environmental impact of those activities. This volume draws on diverse efforts and perspectives to dissect this paradox, offering an alternative approach where human use is central to sustaining wildlands and recovering a damaged ecosystem like Prince William Sound.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe goal of the symposium was to promote interactive discussion between risk assessment experts and port safety managers and to link expertise in the theories and methodologies of risk assessment and the use of data to real-world applications for risk assessment in the interest of improving the safety and efficiency of the nation's marine transportation system. The Proceedings contain the cochairs' overview of the discussions and presentations, all the formal papers and presentations, and the discussion group summaries and excerpts from the question and answer sessions after the presentations by discussion group leaders. The symposium program; list of attendees; and biographies of the cochairs, presenters, and discussion group leaders are provided in the Appendixes.
