MAISRC receives guidance from two groups:
The Center Advisory Board, which is made up of representatives from key governmental and nongovernmental organizations and provides strategic insight and guidance for MAISRC initiatives; and
The MAISRC Technical Committee, which is made up of scientists from academic and governmental agencies that advises MAISRC on scientific and technical activities, including MAISRC’s species and research needs prioritization.
