(Phone: 240-533-0679; Fax: 301-713-0404; Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5b173e1a35357513343c3a351b35343a3a753c342d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a5e9c0e4cbcb8bedcac2c4cbe5cbcac4c48bc2cad3">[email protected]</span></a>).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ONMS serves as the trustee for a network of 
underwater parks encompassing more than 600,000 square miles of marine 
and Great Lakes waters from Washington State to the Florida Keys, and 
from Lake Huron to American Samoa. The network includes a system of 13 
national marine sanctuaries and Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea and Rose 
Atoll marine national monuments. National marine sanctuaries protect 
our nation's most vital coastal and marine natural and cultural 
resources, and through active research, management, and public 
engagement, sustain healthy environments that are the foundation for 
thriving communities and stable economies. One of the many ways ONMS 
ensures public participation in the designation and management of 
national marine sanctuaries is through the formation of advisory 
councils. The Sanctuary System Business Advisory Council (council) has 
been formed to provide advice and recommendations to the Director 
regarding the relationship of ONMS with the business community. 
Additional information on the council can be found at http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/management/ac/welcome.html.
    Matters to be Considered: The meeting will provide an opportunity 
for council members to hear news from across the National Marine 
Sanctuary System and review and comment on program initiatives. For a 
complete agenda, including times and topics, please visit http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/management/bac/meetings.html. This meeting notice 
is being issued under Section 315 of the National Marine Sanctuaries 
Act, 16 U.S.C. 1445A.

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