These events highlighted their common concerns regarding oil spill risks and the need for cooperation across shared borders. In June 2001 a revised Memorandum of Cooperation was adopted to include the State of Hawaii and expand our focus to spill preparedness and prevention needs of the 21st century. Now in our second decade, we provide a forum where Task Force Members can work with stakeholders from the Western US and Canada to implement regional initiatives that protect 56,660 miles of coastline from Alaska to California and the Hawaiian archipelago. This site describes who we are and what we do to accomplish that goal.   Current Interests Headlines Legacy Awards Program 2009 Nomination Information Events Calendar The U.S./Canadian Transboundary Spill Planning and Response Project 2009 Marks the 20th Anniversary of the Pacific States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force Clean Pacific 2009   Search the Oil Spill Task Force site...   Member Agencies Alaska Dept of Environmental Conservation British Columbia Ministry of Environment California Department of Fish & Game   Hawaii Department of Health Oregon Dept Environmental Quality Washington Department of Ecology   Washington Department of Natural Resources Copyright 2003 OSTF | All Rights Reserved
