proposed Hudson Canyon National
Marine Sanctuary to provide advice and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Section 315 of the National Marine
Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 U.S.C.
1445a) authorizes the Secretary of
Commerce to establish advisory
councils to advise and make
recommendations regarding the
designation and management of national
marine sanctuaries. ONMS is
establishing a new sanctuary advisory
council for the proposed Hudson
Canyon National Marine Sanctuary to
serve as a liaison to the local
community and provide guidance and
advice to ONMS during its designation.

II. Office of National Marine
Sanctuaries (ONMS)
ONMS serves as the trustee for a
network of underwater parks
encompassing more than 620,000 square
miles of marine and Great Lakes waters
from Washington State to the Florida
Keys, and from Lake Huron to American
Samoa. The network includes a system
of 15 national marine sanctuaries and
the Papaha¯naumokua¯kea and Rose Atoll
marine national monuments. National
marine sanctuaries protect our nation’s
most vital coastal and marine natural
and cultural resources and, through a
diverse set of management tools, sustain
nationally significant marine and Great
Lakes environments that are the
foundation for thriving communities
and stable economies.
One of the many ways ONMS ensures
public participation in the designation
and management of national marine
sanctuaries is through the formation of
advisory councils. Advisory councils
are community-based groups
established to provide advice and
recommendations to ONMS on issues
including management, science, service,
and stewardship, as well as to serve as
liaisons between their constituents in
the community and the sanctuary.
Pursuant to Section 315(a) of the NMSA,
advisory councils are exempt from the
requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act. Additional information
on ONMS and its advisory councils can
be found at https://
sanctuaries.noaa.gov.
III. Advisory Council Membership
Under Section 315 of the NMSA, the
advisory council shall consist of no
more than 15 voting members. Members
shall be selected by the director from
groups representing the diverse
perspectives surrounding sanctuary
resources, including Federal, State, or
local agency employees with expertise
in natural resources management; local
user-group representatives; conservation
and other public interest organizations;
scientific and educational organizations;
and members of the public interested in
the protection and multiple-use
management of sanctuary resources. 16
U.S.C. 1455a(b).

and positions on the council. The
advisory council charter for the
proposed Hudson Canyon National

Marine Sanctuary identifies the
following voting non-governmental seat
types: commercial fishing; recreational
fishing; tourism/recreation;
conservation; research; business/
maritime industry; education/outreach;
and citizen at-large. The council will
also have non-voting seats for
government agencies. Recognizing the
cultural significance of this area to
Indigenous Nations and Tribes, NOAA
welcomes the participation of such
interested Nations and Tribes on the
council. This could involve multiple
Nations and Tribes. Nations and Tribes
interested in participating in the
advisory council should contact the
NOAA representative identified in the
ADDRESSES section. Participation on the
council does not take the place of
government-to-government consultation
nor does it serve as the only opportunity
for engagement between NOAA and
Indigenous Nations and Tribes.
Applicants are chosen based upon
their particular expertise and experience
in relation to the seat for which they are
applying; community and professional
affiliations; views regarding the
protection and management of marine
or Great Lakes resources; and possibly
the length of residence in the area
affected by the site. Council members
and alternates for the proposed Hudson
Canyon National Marine Sanctuary
Advisory Council serve three-year
terms, as reflected in the signed charter.

advisory council for the proposed
Hudson Canyon National Marine
Sanctuary, including seat descriptions
