Advisory Councils
The Secretary of Commerce authorized the establishment of sanctuary advisory councils (Council) to provide assistance regarding the designation and management of national marine sanctuaries. Such councils will:
~ provide advice and recommendations to the sanctuary manager or liaison;
~ act solely as an advisory body;
~ draw on the expertise of its members and other sources to provide advice and recommendations; and
~ serve as a forum for consultation and deliberation among its members. Find out more about the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council.
