Description
The findings of expert researchers in several disciplines have been successfully brought together in this book on the science of the Gulf of Alaska, a productive ecosystem hard hit by the 1989 oil spill. The U.S. National Research Council critiqued the core parts of this book, and rated them “excellent.” The Gulf of Alaska: Biology and Oceanography is an essential resource guide for scientists, students, and managers working in the Gulf of Alaska. Published by Alaska Sea Grant with financial support from the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council.

It is a bit unusual for more than one publication from the same state to be selected so this is a true accomplishment attesting to the importance and quality of your publications. I know that many librarians use the list for selection purposes, thus enriching their collections."—Linda B. Johnson, Chair, GODORT Notable Documents Panel
