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.
