SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Sanctuary Advisory Council provides the 
Sanctuary Superintendent with advice on the management of the 
Sanctuary. Members provide advice to the Superintendent on issues 
affecting resource protection, the Sanctuary's primary purpose. The 
Council, through its members, serves as liaisons to the community 
regarding Sanctuary issues and acts as a conduit, relaying the 
community's interests, concerns, and management needs to the Sanctuary. 
The Sanctuary Advisory Council members represent public interest 
groups, local industry, commercial and recreational user groups, 
academia, conservation groups, government agencies, and the general 
public. Members serve either two-or three-year terms in order to 
stagger Council membership and allow continuity.
