In recent years, CIES has expanded its role in habitat conservation to include working with a variety of heavily impacted island habitats within the Channel Islands.During fiscal year 2022-2023, CIES continued to be a leader within California for marine bird conservation. CIES conducted numerous studies and conservation actions for 16 species of marine birds working with over 10 clients. Efforts were focused primarily within the Channel Islands, where CIES conducted work on 7 or 8 Channel Islands. In addition, CIES staff assisted Oregon State University with a long-term study of marbled murrelets within the State of Oregon. CIES produced numerous annual reports for its clients, presented results at several scientific conferences, and submitted 1 papers for publication during the year.Furthermore, CIES continues to expand its role in island habitat conservation within the Channel Islands. CIES conducted extensive restoration work for The Channel Islands National Park working with the National Park Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and The Nature Conservancy. Restoration work benefiting marine and coastal birds as well as a wide range of plant and animal species were conducted on Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Santa Barbara and San Miguel islands. CIES conducted restoration work over hundreds of acres and outplanted over 7,000 plants as part of these restoration efforts. In this past year, CIES also assisted with significant monitoring efforts for island fox and island skunks and took on a lead role in efforts to eradicate Argentine ants from Santa Cruz Island. During this past year, CIES was a key stakeholder in the conservation of natural resources, particularly marine birds and their habitats, within the Channel Islands.Finally, CIES initiated a high school environmental education program aimed at providing high school students an opportunity to camp at Santa Rosa Island and participate in the habitat restoration work occurring at this island. The project was a success and CIES anticipates expanding the project in FY 2023-2024. 1004124 true true false false false false false false false false 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 false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 22 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X MICHAEL PARKER 5304001512 409 CABRILLO AVE DAVIS CA 95616 MICHAEL PARKER Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 93811 0 0 Katy Carter Operations Mgr. 40.00 0.00 X 77507 0 0 FRANKLIN GRESS President/Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL R KELLY Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER DEWEES Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARGE KOLAR Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bart Wickel Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 171318 0 false false false 0 774484 395512 1169996 0 8298 8298 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Insurance Payment 17217 17217 17217 1195511 17217 8298 0 0 0 0 181352 83429 97923 0 614918 601189 13729 0 19339 15610 3729 66299 59396 6903 0 0 12066 12066 0 0 0 24106 22137 1969 0 3559 565 2994 1417 564 853 0 5094 2496 2598 104123 89940 14183 0 0 0 0 3602 3602 5270 5270 Transportation 91855 91855 SUPPLIES 34044 29909 4135 TRAINING 7662 3340 4322 Miscellaneous 1828 92 1736 0 1176534 1004124 172410 0 53935 53614 36961 41128 204896 286413 0 0 0 0 0 9518 9518 56708 54959 5351 1749 207732 221075 0 0 0 0 518393 613497 57995 118280 9239 57995 127519 X 460398 485978 460398 485978 518393 613497 18977 6603 X false false false X 769614 653064 782844 876031 1169996 4251549 0 28000 10000 10000 15000 15000 78000 797614 663064 792844 891031 1184996 4329549 0 4329549 5450 3874 5933 8350 8298 31905 0 -938 17217 16279 4377733 0.98900 0.99340 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 56708 54959 1749 1749 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE DRAFT OF THE FORM 990 IS GIVEN TO EACH BOARD MEMBER FOR REVIEW.
