Fish & Games Fines Advisory Committee
The San Luis Obispo County Fish & Game Committee serves as an advisory body to the Board of Supervisors in carrying out a program of wildlife conservation funded by the County Fish and Game Fund.
When and where is this service offered?
The Committee is comprised of ten members, two members from each County Supervisorial District, appointed by the Board of Supervisors. For a current listing of members please email [email protected] or [email protected] your request.
The Committee interacts and coordinates with federal, state, and local agencies and other organizations involved in fish and wildlife conservation, restoration, enhancement, and management programs.
