SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Sanctuary Advisory Council members and alternates serve threeyear terms. The Advisory Council meets bi monthly in public sessions in communities in and around the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary.
The Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council was
established in December 1998 to assure continued public participation
in the management of the sanctuary. Serving in a volunteer capacity,
the advisory council's 15 voting members represent a variety of local
user groups, as well as the general public. In addition, five Federal
government agencies and one federally funded program serve as non
voting, ex officio members. Since its establishment, the advisory
council has played a vital role in advising the sanctuary and NOAA on
critical issues. In addition to providing advice on management issues
facing the Sanctuary, the Council members serve as a communication bridge between constituents and the Sanctuary staff.
