The Advisory Council consists of 9 regular members and 9 alternate members.
Members serve a four-year term.
The Council meets monthly, usually on the last Monday of the month. The Lee County Staff Contact for the Council is Roland Ottolini, Natural Resources Division Director. Erosion of our beaches is a natural, continuous process that poses substantial threat to our coastal development, infrastructure and economy. Our best option for dealing with this problem is to take action to restore and maintain our beaches. The quality of life we enjoy in Lee County, the economic engine of tourism, and the natural habitats for our wild creatures, depend on the health and sustainability of our beaches and coastal systems.
