Council members serve on individual working committees in order to address issues specific to certain species, management issues, or Council affairs. Council committees generally meet prior to full Council meetings to review and discuss proposed management plans, amendments, and other information pertaining to issues at hand. The committees often provide recommendations to the full Council for consideration. Council Committees may work jointly with members of the appropriate advisory panels when reviewing materials and developing recommendations to the Council.  (updated 1/12)
