| MONTEREY BAY SIMoN SCIENCE COMMITTEE |
|
The SIMoN Science Committee (SSC) consists of representatives from local agencies, universities, research
institutions or science-based organizations with expertise in characterizing, studying and monitoring natural
resources. Committee membership is designed to balance representation of the various scientific disciplines
within the Sanctuary. Members are appointed for 2 year terms by the Sanctuary Superintendent and SIMoN
Director. Meetings are held at least twice a year to address funding priorities and other issues as appropriate.

The SSC serves to advise the Monterey Bay Sanctuary staff on many aspects of SIMoN. The SSC evaluates both scientific and
management merit of proposed and ongoing research, site characterizations and monitoring programs within the
Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The SSC also provides guidance to develop monitoring programs that
address key gaps in knowledge. Finally, the SSC advises Sanctuary staff on submitted proposals, integration of
existing research, and the development and implementation of a program to effectively disseminate information.
The SSC does not assume any authority to perform operational or management functions or to represent or
make decisions on behalf of the Sanctuary.
Criteria for Prioritization of Monitoring and Characterization Topics
- Consistent with the overall goals of the Sanctuary
- Urgency
- Unique or limited opportunity
- Significant threat to ecosystem or human health
- Fundamental to the basic understanding of resources or processes
- Importance beyond the Sanctuary boundaries
- Ability to gather sufficient information with the funds and technology available
- Partial funding already secured
- Does not duplicate existing effort
