The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council was established
by Federal law to assure continued public participation in the management
of the Sanctuary. Since its establishment in March 1994, the Council has
played a vital role in the decisions affecting the Sanctuary along the
central California Coast. The Council's nineteen voting members represent
a variety of local user groups, as well as the general public, plus seven
local, state and federal governmental jurisdictions. In addition, the
respective managers for the four California National Marine Sanctuaries
(Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, Cordell Bank National Marine
Sanctuary, Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, and the Monterey
Bay National Marine Sanctuary) and the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine
Research Reserve sit as non-voting members. Members are appointed competitively
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and serve three-year
terms. The Council meets bi-monthly in open sessions located throughout
the 360-mile boundary of the Sanctuary.
The Council maintains a firm commitment to the goals and objectives of
the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Program. The Council appreciates
the efforts of volunteers, non-profit organizations, businesses, and citizens,
without whose support the mission of the Sanctuary would be difficult
to realize.
