In the year 2023/2024, our organization accomplished the following:- We supported research and monitoring efforts in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This was in conjunction with a field course taught by director Chantale Bgin, with the University of South Florida. Shellback Expeditions bought supplies needed for research associated with this course, specifically the supplies needed to start coral reef photogrammetry as part of this research and monitoring (high resolution underwater camera, high performance computer, photogrammetry software, hardware needed to set up plots underwater). We shared the results of undergraduate research projects based on this work with partners in the Grenadines. - We successfully finished our ocean rowing campaign (Salty Science) and the Salty Science team rowed across the Atlantic in December 2023, which brought us a lot of attention, media stories and donations. Shellback Expeditions supported all Salty Science on-the-water training in Florida, and continued local beach/island cleanup activities with local youth. 33172 33172 Chantale Begin Treasurer, Dir. 8.00 0 Brendon Baumeister President, Dir. 1.00 0 Christopher Ergen Secretary, Dir. 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Chantale Begin 841 Delaware Ave Palm Harbor FL 34683 7276879701 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 60034 9689 71496 70023 56667 267909 0 8860 8860 0 0 60034 9689 71496 78883 56667 276769 25000 43536 29990 98526 0 25000 43536 29990 98526 178243 0 0 0 5000 5000 60034 9689 71496 83883 56667 281769 0.63260 0.67330 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $1072 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $635 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $7485 Other Expenses.1 ACH Fraud $70175 Other Expenses.3 Program Supplies $13361 Other Expenses.4 Dues and Subscriptions $12001 Other Expenses.5 Fundraising Expenses $2026 Other Expenses.6 Meal Expenses $325 Other Assets.1001 Automobiles - Beginning $58700 Automobiles - Ending $58700 Total Liabilities.1 Deposit Liability - Beginning $0 Deposit Liability - Ending $27095 Form 990EZ, Part I, Line 16 - ACH Fraud Expense The organization experienced serious bank fraud last year and had over $70,000 stolen from our bank account via ACH transfers.
