Applicants Sought for Subsistence Regional Advisory Council Membership Deadline: February 21, 2023

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.
