SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sanctuary Advisory Council members and 
alternates serve three-year terms, unless the member and alternate are 
selected to fill unexpired terms. In that case, the member and 
alternate will serve out the remaining time on the unexpired term. The 
Advisory Council meets bi-monthly in public sessions in communities in 
and around 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 OCNMS and NOAA on critical 
issues. In addition to providing advice on management issues facing the 
Sanctuary, council members serve as a communication bridge between 
constituents and OCNMS staff.

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