SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary 
Advisory Council was established in 2001 to ensure continued public 
participation in the management of the sanctuary. Council seats are 
occupied by members representing research, conservation, maritime 
activity, fishing, education, the community at-large, as well as 
Federal agency partners. Individual council members act as liaisons 
between the Sanctuary and their constituent groups. The council holds a 
minimum of four regular meetings per year, and an annual retreat in the 
summer.
