Channel Islands Sanctuary Seeks Applicants for Advisory Council
The NOAA’s Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary is seeking applications for 13 positions on its advisory council, which ensures public participation in sanctuary management and provides advice to the sanctuary superintendent.
Candidates will be 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.
The advisory council has played a vital role in advising the sanctuary and NOAA on critical issues and is focused on the protection of large cetaceans in the Santa Barbara Channel and ocean acidification. The advisory council meets bimonthly in public sessions in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Alternates attend meetings when primary members are not available and assume a seat if a primary member resigns.
