Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary protects 1,470 square miles of marine resources surrounding San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Anacapa, and Santa Barbara Islands. Designated in 1980, the sanctuary encompasses a rich diversity of marine life, habitats, and historic and contemporary cultural resources and values. The Advisory Council provides advice to the sanctuary superintendent and serves as a forum for consultation and deliberation for the community, assuring public input to management decision-making and helping expand public awareness about the sanctuary and its resources. Regular public meetings are held every two months. For additional information, visit channelislands.noaa.gov and facebook.com/ChannelIslandsNMS.
