SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

MBNMS Advisory Council was 

established in March 1994 to assure 

continued public participation in the 

management of the Sanctuary. Since its 

establishment, the Advisory Council has 

played a vital role in decisions affecting 

the Sanctuary along the central 

California coast. 

The Advisory Council’s twenty 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 or 

superintendents 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. 

Four working groups support the 

Advisory Council: The Research 

Activity Panel (‘‘RAP’’) chaired by the 

Research Representative, the Sanctuary 

Education Panel (‘‘SEP’’) chaired by the 

Education Representative, the 

Conservation Working Group (‘‘CWG’’) 

chaired by the Conservation 

Representative, and the Business and 

Tourism Activity Panel (‘‘BTAP’’) 

chaired by the Business/Industry 

Representative, each dealing with 

matters concerning research, education, 

conservation and human use. The 

working groups are composed of experts 

from the appropriate fields of interest 

and meet monthly, or bi-monthly, 

serving as invaluable advisors to the 

Advisory Council and the Sanctuary 

Superintendent. 

The Advisory Council represents the 

coordination link between the 

Sanctuary and the State and Federal 

management agencies, user groups, 

researchers, educators, policy makers, 

and other various groups that help to 

focus efforts and attention on the central 

California coastal and marine 

ecosystems. 

The Advisory Council functions in an 

advisory capacity to the Sanctuary 

Superintendent and is instrumental in 

helping develop policies, program goals, 

and identify education, outreach, 

research, long-term monitoring, resource 

protection, and revenue enhancement 

priorities. The Advisory Council works 

in concert with the Sanctuary 

Superintendent by keeping him or her 

informed about issues of concern 

throughout the Sanctuary, offering 

recommendations on specific issues, 

and aiding the Superintendent in 

achieving the goals of the Sanctuary 

program within the context of 

California’s marine programs and 

policies.
