Department Seeks Nominations For Advisory Council

AUGUSTA, Maine -- The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife currently has three openings on the ten member Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Advisory Council that represents the 16 counties of the state. Members of the Advisory Council are appointed by the governor, and then confirmed by the legislature.

Currently, seats that are vacant or will become vacant soon include the seats representing the following counties: Androscoggin/Kennebec/Sagadahoc, Cumberland, and York.

The Advisory Council works with the Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to provide information and advice concerning the administration of the department, and to review all rules being proposed by the Commissioner and determine if they should be adopted by the Commissioner.

Members of the advisory council are appointed by the Governor, subject to review by the Joint Standing Committee on Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and then confirmed by the full Legislature. Appointments are for a term of 3 years and a person may not serve more than 2 consecutive 3-year terms.

In addition to regular and special meetings, council members are expected to attend public hearings on pending rules, as well as sponsoring public forums to gather input regarding timely issues relating to inland fisheries and wildlife management and the use of these resources. Council members are encouraged to also attend local fish and game club meetings, other conservation related events, and exhibits and events sponsored by the department.

Those interested in any of the vacant seats should contact Roland "Dan" Martin, Commissioner, Inland Fisheries and Wildlife at 284 State Street, Augusta, Maine, 04333 or by calling 287-5202.
