NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Alaska Region handles the management responsibilities mandated by the Fur Seal Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act regarding fur seals and NMFS property in the Pribilof Islands. The Pribilof Islands are the primary breeding and haul out areas for over one million Northern Fur Seals. Other responsibilities of the Alaska Region require the maintenance and upkeep of five buildings under NMFS ownership. These support facilities are necessary to conduct management and research activities in the Pribilof Islands, Alaska. NOAA, through its Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), Pribilof Project Office, is also responsible for site characterization and restoration ctivities on the St. George and St. Paul Islands in Alaska. Between 1997 and 2007, NOAA restored over one-hundred debris, and contaminated soil and groundwater sites on the two islands. Debris, primarily in the form of old cars, trucks, tractors, barrels, storage tanks, pipes and marine jetsam amounted to eight thousand tons. Active restoration activities are expected to be completed during 2007.
