§460nnn–52 Advisory role in management activities

Summary

The advisory body must use sound science, existing federal land management plans for the Cooperative Management and Protection Area, and other tools to make recommendations to the Secretary. Those recommendations must offer new and unique ways to manage lands inside the area and propose cooperative programs and incentives for landscape-wide management that meet human needs and keep or improve the area's ecological and economic health. The Secretary must consult with the advisory body when preparing and carrying out the management plan. The advisory body cannot send any recommendation to the Secretary unless at least nine of its members agree.
