SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sanctuary Advisory Council members and 
alternates serve three-year terms. The Advisory Council meets bi-
monthly in public sessions in communities in and around the Olympic 
Coast National Marine Sanctuary.
    The Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council was 
established in December 1998 to assure continued public participation 
in the management of the sanctuary. Serving in a volunteer capacity, 
the advisory council's 15 voting members represent a variety of local 
user groups, as well as the general public. In addition, five Federal 
Government agencies and one federally funded program serve as non-
voting, ex officio members. Since its establishment, the advisory 
council has played a vital role in advising the sanctuary and NOAA on 
critical issues. In addition to providing advice on management issues 
facing the Sanctuary, the Council members serve as a communication 
bridge between constituents and the Sanctuary staff.

    Authority: 16 U.S.C. Sections 1431. et. seq.
