FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information on a

the individual identified in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ONMS serves as the trustee for a network of 
underwater parks encompassing more than 600,000 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 13 
national marine sanctuaries and Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]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 active research, management, and public 
engagement, sustain healthy 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. National marine sanctuary advisory councils are community-
based advisory groups established to provide advice and recommendations 
to the superintendents of national marine sanctuaries on issues 
including management, science, service, and stewardship; and to serve 
as liaisons between their constituents in the community and the 
sanctuary. Additional information on ONMS and its advisory councils can 
be found at http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov. Materials related to the 
purpose, policies, and operational requirements for advisory councils 
can be found in the charter for a particular advisory council (http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/management/ac/council_charters.html) and the 
National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council Implementation Handbook 
(http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/management/ac/acref.html).
