The OPA 90 Forum is dedicated to advancing the highest standards in oil spill and hazardous substance preparedness, prevention, and response. Central to achieving this mission are our standing committees, each playing a vital role in supporting the Forum’s goals and fostering a collaborative environment for continuous improvement. These committees are composed of dedicated professionals and experts who contribute their time and expertise to ensure the Forum remains at the forefront of environmental protection and regulatory excellence.

Our committees work together to identify key issues, promote best practices, and influence the evolution of policies, technologies, and strategies that enhance response effectiveness and minimize environmental impacts. Each committee has a distinct focus area, ensuring that all aspects of the Forum’s mission are addressed.  By participating in or collaborating with these committees, members have the opportunity to contribute directly to meaningful improvements in the field, helping to shape a future where pollution incidents are rare and managed with unparalleled efficiency.
