The Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council serves as a primary link between sanctuary administrators and the community, as well as a forum for citizen participation in sanctuary management.
Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary is an ocean park teeming with life. The natural live-bottom habitats of the sanctuary are representative of others across the region. The sanctuary provides year-round opportunities for sport fishing, recreational diving, and boating. The research area within the sanctuary hosts one of the only designated no-take zones in the region, which makes Gray’s Reef a catalyst for scientific research studying water quality, ocean noise, hurricane prediction, and climate change.
Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary offers opportunities for fishing and diving throughout the year. The sanctuary also has a visitor center in Savannah, Georgia, and online, virtual experiences for those who don’t have a boat to travel to the offshore sanctuary.
Recruitment for Sanctuary Advisory Council seats generally occurs in late spring and late fall.
