SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pacific Council will be considering two
administrative items related to the ONMS at its September meeting. The
first item, Chumash Sanctuary Designation, will focus on the proposed
designation documents and regulations for the new Sanctuary, with
particular focus on any proposed regulations that may affect fishing
activities under the Council's jurisdiction. The second item is the
consideration of new areas for coral research and restoration in the
Gulf of Farallones and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuaries. The
Council will begin scoping this item in September and will consider the
areas that may be closed to fishing and to what fisheries the closures
would apply. This presentation is aimed at a broad audience of Council
members, advisory body members, and the public. Pacific Council and
ONMS staff may follow up with more targeted discussions with advisory
bodies during their September meetings will also brief the Council
directly.
