Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

IRG'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITH INFORMATION TO PROMOTE CONSERVATION OF COASTAL AND MARINE SPECIES AND THEIR HABITATS.

  • In 2023, IRG successfully captured, tagged and released over 900 sea turtles from the intake canal at the St. Lucie Power Plant on Hutchinson Island, Florida. This marks the 3rd highest number of sea turtles captured at this site over the past 25 years. IRG biologists also successfully captured and released an adult manatee and 13? small tooth sawfish in 2023 with aid from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation personnel and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. In addition to capturing and providing important demographic data to state and federal wildlife agencies IRG also conducted sea turtle nesting surveys on 11 miles of beach on Hutchinson Island. During nesting surveys in 2023 we observed record nesting numbers for 2 of the 3 species of sea turtles that nest on Florida beaches.

    Expenses $741,129 · Revenue $795,002

  • In 2023, the reach of our education programs for school aged children tripled in the U.S. to include over 30,000 children covering 30 school districts in 3 southeast region states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We have also expanded our international reach with these educational programs that are now being taught in six different languages through eight countries.

    Expenses $357,446 · Revenue $353,476

  • In 2023, IRG biologists and education staff conducted inwater surveys and captures of sea turtles at our established research sites in Big Pine Key, Key West National Wildlife Refuge, Pasco County, Lake Worth Lagoon, Deerfield Beach and Jupiter Inlet, Florida. As part of our research in these areas of Florida we captured, measured, tagged and collected data on over 250 loggerhead and green sea turtles. All data collected at these sites were provided to state and federal agencies. Results from these studies were also presented at the International Sea Turtle Symposium, Florida Permit Holders meeting and other presentations given to the general public and several Florida school Districts.

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.
