Abstract

Notice is hereby given that NOAA is establishing a national marine sanctuary advisory council for the Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary (LONMS). The new advisory council (council) will replace the pre-designation advisory council which was established September 17, 2019 and which expired upon the designation of LONMS. The council will provide advice and recommendations to ONMS regarding the sanctuary management plan and will serve as liaisons between the sanctuary and constituents and community groups. As a result, ONMS is adding the council to the list of established national marine sanctuary advisory councils. ONMS solicits applications to fill council seats on an as needed basis and is currently seeking applicants for seats on the LONMS Advisory Council. This notice contains web page links and contact information for LONMS and application materials to apply for the council.
