IN 2023, THE ORGANIZATION WORKED TO STRENGTHEN POLICIES AND DEADLINES TO REDUCE NITRATE AND PESTICIDE POLLUTION FROM IRRIGATED AGRICULTRUAL LANDS THAT CONTAMINATE DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES, CREEKS, STREAMS, RIVERS, AND COASTAL WATERS. WE LED COMMUNITY EFFORTS IN A SANTA BARBARA CITY ASSESSMENT OF ITS CRUISE SHIP PROGRAM AND ADVOCATED FOR AN ANNUAL CAP ON CRUISE SHIP VISITS, REQUIREMENTS OR GREATER ASSURANCES THAT SHIPS USE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO PREVENT WATER AND AIR POLLUTION. WE REACHED A LEGAL SETTLEMENT WITH A UTILITY COMPANY TO CLEAN UP A SITE NEAR GOLETA SLOUGH THAT IT USED TO STORE WOODEN POLES TREATED WITH PENTACHLOROPHENOL AND IS CONTAMINATED WITH DIOXINS AND FURANS. THE ORGANIZATION IS ENGAGED AS THE SOLE NGO PARTY RESPRESENTING PUBLIC TRUST RESOURCES IN THE VENTURA RIVER WATERSHED ADJUDICATON.

IN 2023, WE PROVIDED LESSONS AND/OR EXPERIENCES TO 1,400 LOCAL STUDENTS THROUGH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE EDUCATION PROGRAM. WE HOSTED OUR 20TH ANNUAL STUDENT ART SHOW ON THE THEME OF "WHAT THE CHANNEL MEANS TO ME." MORE THAN 250 PIECES OF ARTWORK WERE SUBMITTED BY LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR CONSIDERATION IN THE SHOW. WE SUPPORTED SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BASED RESEARCHERS EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS BY COLLECTING PLANKTON AND BIOTOXIN SAMPLES IN THE CHANNEL IN THE SUMMER OF 2023.
Expenses $146,082
-
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT - THE ORGANIZATION MOTIVATES AND MOBILIZES COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO TAKE SPECIFIC ACTIONS THAT PROTECT LOCAL CREEKS, BEACHES, COASTAL WATERS, AND THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. WE TRAINED 60 PROSPECTIVE VOLUNTEERS TO PARTICIPATE IN SHORE-BASED SURVEYS OF THREE LOCAL, COASTAL MARINE PROTECTED AREAS, TO SUPPLEMENT OUR STAFF-CONDUCTED BOAT-BASED SURVEYS. VOLUNTEERS CONDUCTED 1,016 SHORE BASED SURVEYS. THE ORGANIZATION CONDUCTED 15 BOAT-BASED SURVEYS OF MARINE PROTECTED AREAS IN COASTAL AREAS AND AT THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. WE CARRIED OUT OUR WATERSHED BRIGADE PROGRAM WITH 572 VOLUNTEERS. THEY REMOVED MORE THAN 11,000 POUNDS OF TRASH AND MARINE DEBRIS IN CLEAN-UP EVENTS. OUR STAFF AND WATERSHED BRIGADE VOLUNTEERS WORKED WITH LOCAL FISHERMEN TO REMOVE 30 DERELICT LOBSTER TRAPS ALONG A ONE-MILE STRETCH OF BEACH BETWEEN LEADBETTER BEACH AND HENDRY'S BEACH.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
