MPA FAC Meetings Public Comments

  > MPA Federal Advisory Committee  > Meetings  > Public Comments


The MPA Federal Advisory Committee encourages individuals from across the nation to submit their comments, ideas, and recommendations regarding marine protected areas.

The term "Public Comment" refers to any unsolicited written or oral statement submitted by a member of the public to the MPA Federal Advisory Committee. These statements may be submitted via e-mail, fax, or mail to the Advisory Committee Designated Federal Officer located within the National MPA Center. There are also opportunities to provide oral public comments during public meetings of the MPA Advisory Committee. Each statement is considered a Public Comment and will be entered into the Advisory Committee record.

The following entries are the Public Comments given by individuals at the Federal Advisory Committee meetings held to date. All written comments received via e-mail, fax, mail, or during Committee meetings will be distributed to the Committtee. Oral comments given at the meeting will be included in the meeting minutes, and posted on this website. Comments are grouped by meeting date
