The
MBNMS Advisory Council was
established in March 1994 to assure
continued public participation in the
management of the Sanctuary. Since its
establishment, the Advisory Council has
played a vital role in decisions affecting
the Sanctuary along the central
California coast.
The Advisory Council’s twenty voting
members represent a variety of local
user groups, as well as the general
public, plus seven local, State and
Federal governmental jurisdictions. In
addition, the respective managers or
superintendents for the four California
National Marine Sanctuaries (Channel
Islands National Marine Sanctuary,
Cordell Bank National Marine
Sanctuary, Gulf of the Farallones
National Marine Sanctuary and the
Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary) and the Elkhorn Slough
National Estuarine Research Reserve sit

Education Representative, the
Conservation Working Group (‘‘CWG’’)
chaired by the Conservation
Representative, and the Business and
Tourism Activity Panel (‘‘BTAP’’)

working groups are composed of experts

coordination link between the
Sanctuary and the State and Federal
management agencies, user groups,
researchers, educators, policy makers,
and other various groups that help to
focus efforts and attention on the central
California coastal and marine
ecosystems.
The Advisory Council functions in an
advisory capacity to the Sanctuary
Superintendent and is instrumental in
helping develop policies, program goals,
and identify education, outreach,
research, long-term monitoring, resource
protection, and revenue enhancement
priorities. The Advisory Council works
