WE HAVE CREATED 3 LARGE-SCALE ARTIFICIAL REEFS OUT OF HURRICANE DAMAGED VESSELS THAT HAVE GONE ON TO BECOME MARINE PROTECTED AREAS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MONITORING AND TREATING STONY CORAL TISSUE LOSS DISEASE WITHIN THE TERRITORY WHICH HAS BEEN PREVALENT IN THIS PART OF THE CARIBBEAN FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. WE HAVE INITIATED A SHARK RESEARCH PROGRAM AS THE BVI IS A SHARK SANCTUARY WITH NO BASELINE DATA. AND LASTLY WE HAVE DEDICATED MUCH OF THE PAST 2 YEARS TO IDENTIFYING AND CLEARING "GHOST FISHING" GEAR OUT OF THE WATERS AND COASTLINE. GHOST FISHING GEAR REFERS TO DERELICT, ABANDONED OR LOST FISHING GEAR IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT THAT CONTINUES TO TRAP FISH AND ANIMALS FOR YEARS AND YEARS AFTER THEY WERE ORIGINALLY SET FOR USE. (CONTINUES BELOW) THIS ABANDONED GEAR SUCH AS NETS, TRAPS AND POTS NOT ONLY ATTRACT, TRAP, ENTANGLE AND POTENTIALLY KILL MARINE LIFE, BUT THEY ALSO OFTEN SMOTHER FRAGILE MARINE ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS CORAL REEF. BEYOND THE REEF HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK CLEANING MILES OF COASTLINE FROM THESE DEADLY NETS AS WELL AS ANY OTHER HURRICANE DEBRIS OR PLASTICS THAT WE ENCOUNTER ALONG THE WAY THAT POSE A THREAT TO THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE BEGUN OUR SECOND SEASON OF CETACEAN FIELD RESEARCH, DISCOVERING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BVI WATERS TO THE ANNUAL HUMPBACK MIGRATION ROUTE THROUGH UTILIZING HYDROACOUSTICS, VISUAL FLUKE IDENTIFICATIONS, AND BOAT TRANSECTS TO SYSTEMATICALLY STUDY SEVERAL ASPECTS OF THEIR BEHAVIORS AND PRESENCE WITHIN THE WATERS. 229556 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false false false false CA X KENDYL BERNA 8009284161 318 10TH STREET SEAL BEACH CA 90740 X KENDYL BERNA PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID BLAUVELT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER JUREDIN VICE PRESIDE 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CAITLIN STETSON SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 false false false 296318 296318 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 699 699 699 102 102 297119 699 102 200346 200346 1800 1800 14917 14917 620 500 120 7859 7859 3039 3039 74 74 348 348 897 673 224 229900 229556 344 0 5660 7166 122508 185677 1820 1820 2892 348 2544 129988 197207 0 0 X 129988 197207 129988 197207 129988 197207 67219 X false false false X 10075 254859 296318 561252 10075 254859 296318 561252 492546 68706 7 102 109 561361 699 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2892 348 2544 2544 true CENTRAL AMERICA + THE CARIBBEAN FUNDING MISSION 200346 200346 200346 CENTRAL AMERICA + THE CARRIBEAN FURTHER MISSION 200346 BANK TRANSFER 1 false false false false false false SCHEDULE F, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 3 CENTRAL AMERICA + THE CARIBBEAN 200,346 0 FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B THE 990 IS REVIEWED BY SELECTED MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THEN DISTRIBUTED TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS PRIOR TO FILING.
