Coastal Advisory Council
The Coastal Advisory CouncilIn 1992, the Governor of Georgia appointed a two-year, 25-member Coastal Zone Advisory Committee, representing a diverse cross-section of the coastal Georgia citizenry, to provide public input throughout the development of the Georgia Coastal Management Program. A new Coastal Advisory Committee was appointed in 1994 by the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources to review the draft Program Document, to assist with public education throughout the program development process, and to provide technical assistance. In 1997, the committee was expanded to increase participation from interested local governments. In 2003, the Committee was revamped and re-authorized by the Commissioner of DNR as the Coastal Advisory Council with By-laws and an appointed membership. The Council is charged with developing annual themes and funding criteria for the Coastal Incentive Grant Program, and providing a communication loop between the Coastal Management Program and coastal citizens. Notice of Upcoming Meetings The Coastal Advisory Council Winter Quarterly meeting is tentatively scheduled for February 2012. Additional details and meeting agenda will be sent to members via email shortly.
