Activities or mission (Part I)

Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

  • Diversifying Ocean Sciences:The purpose of the program is to provide folks with a stepping stone into marine science who are otherwise struggling to break into the field. Diversifying Ocean Sciences is a free, year-long hybrid program for people to hone their ocean science skills, build their network, and receive mentorship. Thirty participants will be accepted into the program. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in one of four concentrations (Estuary Science, Deep Sea Science, Coastal Science or Aquarium Science). The experience will culminate with a week long hands-on intensive in-person (on site) workshop and a week long shoreside (on site) or remote experience during summer 2024.

    Expenses $234,913

  • Eugenie Clark fellowship: A full-time paid training experience in shark research. Participants will receive mentorship from scientists from Havenworth Coastal Conservation, Chicago Zoological Society?s Sarasota Dolphin Research Program, and Minorities in Shark Sciences and participate in on-vessel field-based research, receiving hands-on experience deploying gear, handling, identifying, tagging and releasing sharks, rays and bony fish, as well as collecting biological (morphological measurements, blood and tissue samples) and environmental (water quality) data. Additionally, participants will learn to design and deliver public outreach content on the biology, ecology and conservation concerns of local shark and ray species. Participants may also assist with processing biological samples, maintaining sampling gear and water quality monitoring equipment, and recording, entering, and analyzing data. Participants will also receive full financial support to attend the Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists conference with the mentors in July.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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.
