SBEP Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) provides a mechanism for technical peer review and input to SBEP projects and programs. The TAC is made up of local and regional researchers and environmental managers with expertise and knowledge of the Sarasota Bay estuarine system. The TAC initiates technical studies, assists SBEP with restoration and management plans for the Bay and its resources, and reviews projects put forth by the CAC for scientific merit.

The Citizens Advisory Committee provides a mechanism for structured citizen input to SBEP and assists in disseminating relevant information to the public. The CAC develops action plans to communicate SBEP activities and strives to influence public policies that affect the Bay and its resources.
