Past (2001) Science Advisory Panel
A new Science Advisory Panel was created in 2009 to advise the Department on technologically effective and economically feasible methods to treat wastewater.
The 2001 Science Advisory Panel was chartered during the Alaska Cruise Ship Initiative. The Panel consists of independent experts in fields such as marine pollution, oceanography, chemistry, and microbiology. The Panel advises the DEC on scientific matters related to cruise ship impacts on the Alaskan environment and public health.
