| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: ANIMAL BEHAVIOR Conducted scientific research on 4 grant-funded animal behavior project, using sound to harmonize human and animal interaction. By understanding how marine life uses sound for communication and survival, we can reduce impacts of human-made noise, minimize entanglements and injuries and use sound to warn marine life of hazards.Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institutes project to evaluate potential interactions between sea life and offshore aquaculture facilities is concluding this year, and will be reported on and published in the next few months. The final task is to test underwater monitoring equipment that may assist farmers and scientists in studying, preventing and mitigating interactions between aquaculture gear and marine life. Released this year was a publication on assessing the severity of marine mammal behavioral responses to human-made noise. This long-awaited report from an international, interdisciplinary group of scientific experts on marine mammals and noise provides important guidance for resource managers and others involved in marine mammal conservation. Scientists can now document short-term behavioral changes in response to human-made noise. Extrapolating changes to population-level effects will require additional research. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: EDUCATION AND OUTREACH Conducted scientific research on 2 grant-funded education and outreach projects, inspiring a love for science. We are committed to creating future citizen advocates for ocean health and marine life by advancing public appreciation for scientific discovery. HSWRI scientists work with students at all levels, committed to a K to Gray, lifelong learning approach to inspiring all citizens to be ocean stewards with an appreciation for scientific discovery. Many education and outreach events were cancelled again this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Where possible, scientists adapted lectures and workshops to a virtual format. After a several month pause, the Seabass in the Classroom program resumed for the subset of participating schools with in-person learning; HSWRI scientists developed a no-to-low-contact plan for dropping off fish and supplies. Additional support and advice are provided remotely. The Institute has long worked to increase the involvement of traditionally under-represented groups in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) careers. The effort expanded this year with the formation of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee at HSWRI to highlight our commitment to a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment. The Institute pledges to provide equal opportunities for employment, volunteering, representation and advancement in all areas of our work. |
