How are local interests represented in sanctuary/ preserve management?
The local sanctuary/preserve office works formally with the Sanctuary Advisory Council (SAC), a fifteen-member group representing local sport and commercial anglers, sport and commercial divers, charter boat operators, area tourism councils, area festival organizers, historic preservationists, education and research institutions, and city and county governments. The SAC advises and provides recommendations to the sanctuary/preserve manager about issues relating to resource protection, research, education, and implementation of the sanctuary’s Management Plan.
