Abstract: Section 315 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 1445a) allows the Secretary of Commerce to establish one or more advisory councils to provide advice to the Secretary regarding the designation and management of national marine sanctuaries. Councils are individually chartered for each sanctuary to meet the needs of that sanctuary. Once a council has been chartered, the Sanctuary Managers starts a process to recruit members for that Council by providing notice to the public and asking interested parties to apply for the available seats. An application form and a narrative submission must be submitted to the Sanctuary Manager.
