Sanctuary Advisory Councils

Sanctuary Advisory Councils are groups that provide guidance on the management and protection of marine sanctuaries, which are areas designated to conserve marine ecosystems and cultural resources. These councils typically consist of various stakeholders, including local communities, scientists, and industry representatives. Their role is to advise government agencies on policies, conservation strategies, and public engagement initiatives. By incorporating diverse perspectives, Sanctuary Advisory Councils aim to balance ecological health with economic interests, ensuring the long-term sustainability of marine environments for future generations.
