Upcoming 2014 elections
Since its inception, the Cook Inlet RCAC has formed partnerships and encouraged consensus decision making. Through this process we bring stakeholders together to create environmental monitoring and oil spill prevention programs to promote safe production and transportation of oil in Cook Inlet.
Our Board of Directors consists of representatives of 13 stakeholder organizations (and their alternates) that serve 3-year terms. These 3-year terms expire on a rotating basis, so in any given year we may fill 4 or 5 seats. Read more.

Board presentations available
The board of directors met for two very full days on December 5 and 6, in Anchorage. This was our last Council meeting of 2013, and the agenda was packed.
 A common theme throughout the presentations was a willingness for information sharing across disciplines. Among the highlights were updates on two projects that are of enormous interest to Cook Inlet: the Trans-Foreland Pipeline, a subsea pipeline for transporting oil across Cook Inlet; and the Alaska gasline project.
We also received in-depth briefings from the Port of Anchorage, U.S. Coast Guard, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Spill Prevention and Response; XTO Energy, Cook Inlet Energy, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Alaska Department of Fish & Game Habitat Division, Alaska SeaLife Center, Cook Inlet Spill Prevention & Response, Inc.; NOAA, Buccaneer Alaska, and Hilcorp Alaska. We have made the presentations available on our website. Click here, to download.
