| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: ANIMAL BEHAVIORConducted scientific research on 2 grant-funded animal behavior projects, 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.The recent publication of a system for scoring the severity of marine mammal behavioral responses to human-made noise was based on short term studies of animal responses to noise exposure. Now, the severity scale for animals in managed care is helping to clarify the effect of cumulative exposure to sounds from all sources under controlled conditions, where effects on individuals can be monitored over long periods. The Animal Behavior and Senses Program has partnered with SeaWorld to collect data on real-world sounds from a range of sources and corresponding animal behaviors. Much of this years work focused on assessing if noise from construction within parks is transmitted through air and/or water into exhibits of animals in managed care. This work used an array of hydrophones to monitor noise strength and duration and observe any changes in animal behavior. The work is important in the short-term for planning and assessment purposes and may ultimately help measure cumulative risks of exposure to wild marine mammals. The program also focused on testing low-cost underwater video monitoring and sound data collection systems that will be useful for monitoring the biological community and behavior of animals around human structures in the ocean, including offshore aquaculture structures. Pilot testing showed promising results from off-the-shelf hemispheric camera systems for short term deployments, and plans are underway to scale up pilot testing near our white seabass net pens in the Agua Hedionda Lagoon to monitor biodiversity around the structure. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: EDUCATION AND OUTREACHConducted scientific research on 4 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, targeting Title 1 schools for outreach and presentations. Seabass in the Classroom (SITC) continued this year with 13 schools across San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange counties participating in the raising and releasing of white seabass. Additional schools are in the process of joining SITC for the spring of 2024. During the past year, we developed plans to hire an Education and Outreach Manager committed to growing this program, in particular by working to bring these systems to Title 1 and minority-serving school districts that often lack robust STEM education programs. Further, we continued our work to inspire hands-on and experiential learning and career development opportunities, with more than 500 students visiting the Carlsbad hatchery and Mission Bay facilities for educational tours and career chats with scientists.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 and included our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee at HSWRI to highlight our commitment to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment. In addition, effort was made to formalize paid internship opportunities for college-age students over the summer to provide them with invaluable hands-on experience working alongside our researchers. The Institute pledges to provide equal opportunities for employment, volunteering, representation, and advancement in all areas of our work. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | The officers reviewed a paper copy of the draft 990 two weeks before the report is filed. An electronic copy of the draft report is circulated to the Finance Committee two weeks before the report is filed. The Finance Committee chair forwards any comments or concerns to the Chief Financial Officer. A draft electronic copy is the circulated to all HSWRI board members via e-mail for review one week before the report is filed. Any comments or concerns are forwarded by the CFO to the preparer for any revisions before filing. All these reviews are of the base 990 form and all schedules and other attachments to the report. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | HSWRI requires all officers, trustees and key employees to annually affirm in writing their understanding and conformance to HSWRIs written conflict of interest policy. This policy requires that all employees report any potential conflicts of interest to the Chief Financial Officer, who is an officer of the organization. Officers and trustees report any potential conflicts to Board Chair who convenes the Executive Committee, which determines whether an actual or perceived conflict exists and steps to mitigate or eliminate the conflict. For employees, this determination is made by the President. All parties to the potential conflict do not participate in the deliberations or decisions on the transaction. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b | HSWRIs board has delegated the determination of the compensation of the President and key employees to the Compensation Committee. The Committees review and recommendation are based upon use of data as to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. A contemporaneous record of their discussions and decisions is maintained as part of the corporate record. The Presidents and key employee compensation was last reviewed in 2017. The Presidents last salary increase was in 2020. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | HSWRIs governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request to the Chief Financial Officer. Inspection copies are available for in person inspection at HSWRIs main office. Copies are sent upon request to the public via e-mail at no charge or via US mail at the legally allowable charge. |
