The Sanctuary Advisory Council provides the Sanctuary Manager with advice on the management of the Sanctuary. Members provide advice to the Sanctuary Manager on issues affecting resource protection, the Sanctuary’s primary purpose. The Council, through its members, serves as a liaison to the community regarding Sanctuary issues and acts as a conduit, relaying the community’s interests, concerns, and management needs to the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary Advisory Council members represent public interest groups, local industry, commercial and recreational user groups, academia, conservation groups, government agencies, and the general public. Members serve either two-or three-year terms in order to stagger Council membership and allow continuity.
