Applicants Sought for Subsistence Regional Advisory Council Membership Deadline: March 15, 2024

The Councils meet at least twice a year and provide recommendations to the Federal Subsistence Board on subsistence management issues. Council meetings serve as a forum for regional public involvement in Federal subsistence management. Council members must be knowledgeable about the uses of fish and wildlife resources in their region and reside in the region they wish to represent. 

Individuals may apply for membership themselves, or an individual or organization may nominate someone for Council membership.
