What is the sanctuarys Advisory Council?
The Advisory Council (AC) is an important forum for collaboration. Comprised of 21 members, the Advisory Council includes representatives from Indian tribes, other federal, state and local agencies, user groups and the public. During regularly scheduled meetings, Advisory Council members share their perspectives and offer the Sanctuary Superintendent the benefit of the views of the groups they represent. Acting in an advisory role, the council is a sounding board for discussing issues and developing solutions that reflect a local and regional perspective. Advisory Council meetings are open to the public; each has a scheduled public comment period during which interested citizens may comment on sanctuary matters or decisions facing the Advisory Council.
