Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council seeks members

Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary is seeking applicants for the Sanctuary Advisory Council (SAC). The council ensures public participation in sanctuary management and provides advice to the sanctuary superintendent. The SAC holds meetings every two months within the regions of the Olympic Peninsula and occasionally Puget Sound. 

Sanctuary staff are currently accepting applications for the Fishing: alternate, Research: alternate, and Citizen-at-Large: primary and alternate seats. Candidates are selected based on their expertise and experience in relation to the seat for which they are applying, community and professional affiliations, and views regarding the protection and management of marine resources. Applicants who are chosen should expect to serve a three-year term. Primary seats represent a certain agency, tribe, user, or stakeholder group. Alternate seats fill a particular seat in the absence of the primary seat.

Applications will be accepted through Monday, May 22, 2023.
