Diversifying Ocean Sciences is a free, year-long hybrid program for people to hone their ocean science skills, build their network, and receive mentorship. Thirty participants will be accepted into the program. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in one of four concentrations (Estuary Science, Deep Sea Science, Coastal Science or Aquarium Science). The experience will culminate with a week long hands-on intensive in-person (on site) workshop and a week long shoreside (on site) or remote experience during summer 2024. 52919 54564 Eugenie Clark fellowship: A full-time paid training experience in shark research. Participants will receive mentorship from scientists from Havenworth Coastal Conservation, Chicago Zoological Society?s Sarasota Dolphin Research Program, and Minorities in Shark Sciences and participate in on-vessel field-based research, receiving hands-on experience deploying gear, handling, identifying, tagging and releasing sharks, rays and bony fish, as well as collecting biological (morphological measurements, blood and tissue samples) and environmental (water quality) data. Additionally, participants will learn to design and deliver public outreach content on the biology, ecology and conservation concerns of local shark and ray species. Participants may also assist with processing biological samples, maintaining sampling gear and water quality monitoring equipment, and recording, entering, and analyzing data. Participants will also receive full financial support to attend the Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists conference with the mentors in July. 50712 69333 Research Summit: Attendees will have the opportunity to attend any SICB talks, symposiums, or workshops as well as attend the MISS research summit. During this summit, MISS members and Friends of MISS will have the opportunity to present their own research, network with scientists from many different disciplines, and join working groups to potentially receive funding for research SEED grants offered by MISS! 86374 25808 424918 true true false false false false 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 true 0 0 false 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X Amani Webber-Schultz 5106888511 PO Box 10493 Bradenton FL 34282 Jasmin Graham CEO 40.00 0.00 X 45000 0 0 Carlee Jackson Director 20.00 0.00 X 18846 0 0 Amani Carolyn Webber-Schultz CFO 5.00 0.00 X 9125 0 0 Jaida Elcock Director 1.00 0.00 X 2554 0 0 Erica Webber Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paula Carlson Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 75525 0 false false false 0 27537 295605 323142 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 323142 0 0 0 0 63847 54574 9273 0 5728 5728 0 0 5915 4454 1461 0 275 275 4676 4676 0 0 0 1602 500 1102 3704 3704 0 0 0 103 78 25 103239 71764 31475 0 1088 1088 0 0 0 454 454 Educational Programming 176124 174954 1170 Awards & Stipends 98689 98075 614 Reimbursements 12185 1380 10805 Contract Labor 11906 2386 9520 50995 15665 35330 540530 424918 115612 0 349234 132036 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 160 349234 132196 541 891 541 891 X 348693 131305 348693 131305 349234 132196 -217388 X false false false X 74439 620812 620812 1316063 0 0 0 0 74439 620812 620812 1316063 0 0 1316063 0 0 0 192 192 74439 621004 620812 1316255 X 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Payroll Liabilities 891 891 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Love the Oceans Fellowship: This fellowship is for individuals interested in gaining research experience at a remote field station with the nonprofit Love the Oceans in Mozambique.
