Terms to the Coastal Advisory Council are two years, and appointment is subject to approval by the Commissioner of Natural Resources. Applicants should provide a statement of interest and potential contributions to the council. More information can be found at www.CoastalGaDNR.org/CoastalAdvisoryCouncil.
