Shark Team One works to promote environmental conservation through its core programs, public awareness campaigns and marine protected area projects. Shark Team One ecology, research and citizen science expeditions focusing on endangered species also help educate students, familes and the public while helping to protect community livelihoods. 0 0 72823 38406 Research Expeditions - our research expeditions provide scientific study leading to increased worldwide protection of endangered species and ocean ecosystems. We also provide citizen science expeditions that educate students and adults about ocean issues, build advocacy and benefit local livelihoods. Annually our reach is 250 citizen scientists trained with 11,000 volunteer hours logged. Our program goals are to promote marine protected areas as valuable tools for ecosystem and species protection and stop further loss of endangered marine species by building advocacy in the hearts and minds of our citizen scientists and volunteers. Our training ensures each participant assists with our goals and in so doing they become lifelong advocates for endangered species survival and ocean conservation. This program also empowers sustainability initiatives, focuses on climate change resilience planning and promotes using technology for wildlife conservation with projects such as our AI for Earth partnership for our "Building Marine Wildlife Corridors for Sharks Using Artificial Intelligence" which categorizes, analyzes and catalogs our shark field survey data. We have successfully protected 27,195 hectares of ocean within this program, working with multiple government agencies, public stakeholders, educational and other NGO partners. 43347 32080 Endangered Whale Shark Conservation - specific threats we are addressing are ship strikes, injury from marine plastic pollution, fishing gear entanglement, inadequate marine reserves and overfishing. 1,591,780 people reached by conservation messaging, increased number of people taking action by 14,077. In this program we inspire families and children to become citizen scientists to help protect endangered species and create the future of conservation. We are also providing scientific study that has created increased protection for endangered whale sharks. Number of people engaged by community outreach programming is 384,890. Our "Heads Up Fins Up" Initiative seeks to curb impacts to whale sharks that are becoming severely injured or killed by ship strikes. This initiative is bridging the gap for enforcement in marine protected areas and asks corporate shipping and consumer goods companies to create less impact and follow established governmental and our conservation guidelines for reporting whale shark sightings, following zoning regulations and reducing speed through mapped whale shark aggregation areas. Our ichthyoplankton studies are first of their kind to involve local ecotourism operators and artisanal fishers in Mexico. Through our research, multiple government agencies have agreed to create marine protective corridors to protect the endangered sharks. 19318 0 Ocean Ecosystem Protection - Promote marine protected areas as valuable tools for ecosystem protection. Conserve ocean areas for future generations by providing education, forums and research. Work with hundreds of stakeholders to create marine reserves. 19 endangered and 2 critically endangered species protected. Our "Underwater Florida - Windows to Hope" multimedia campaign works with community to identify linkages to reef health created by fish abundance, promotes conservation of spawning fish aggregations and highlights the importance of diverse habitats such as mangrove nurseries, coral reef fish assemblages, seagrass meadows and "blue water" pelagic regions. Stakeholders follow our current research and live field expeditions to learn and get firsthand knowledge which is being used for community local action strategy planning. This project has led to discoveries such as shark and goliath grouper nursery areas and discovery of resilient coral colonies on nearshore patch reefs which can be studied to find out why they have not been impacted by the issues and diseases that other Florida reef tract areas have suffered. Partnerships for this program include Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. 0 0 0 135488 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 FL X Angela Smith 9547890762 3474 Riverland Road Fort Lauderdale FL 33312 Philip DuBois Director 22.00 0 X 18720 0 0 Angela Smith President 50.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Susan Wight Director 3.0 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Smith Director 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 18720 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 93560 0 93560 Endangered Species Research 900099 38406 38406 0 0 Whale Shark Student Ecology Training 900099 32080 32080 0 0 0 0 0 0 70486 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 164046 70486 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18720 18720 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 250 0 0 250 7421 5562 1859 0 1626 894 432 300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 41672 39702 0 1970 0 0 0 0 2000 1750 250 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Equipment & Field Supplies 27002 27002 0 0 Research & Surveys 33375 33375 0 0 PSA/Video Production 8483 8483 0 0 140549 135488 2541 2520 261743 285240 261743 285240 0 0 X 237743 285240 24000 0 261743 285240 261743 285240 23497 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 123832 55890 102854 165752 93560 541888 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 123832 55890 102854 165752 93560 541888 26946 514942 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 541888 0 0.95027 0.8685 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED North America (including Canada and Mexico, but not the United States) 0 0 Program Services marine protection 50803 Antarctica 0 0 Program Services marine protection 31375 0 0 82178 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 3 Accounting methods for expenditures per region is the cash method.
