Abstract

The offshore oil and gas resources in Alaska, though having undergone extensive exploration, are still in the primary stages of development. The environmental impacts of offshore production would extend beyond the platform into the coastal zone and on land, as oil and gas are extracted, piped and shipped, and refined. This article discusses the vulnerabilities of the fish and wildlife species to oil and gas development activities. By determining the risks to wildlife before the onslaught of development, environmentally responsible management of the energy resources of Alaska and elsewhere can be accomplished.
