Ours remains the worlds longest running penguin monitoring project. The penguin population trend was found to be continuing -- gentoo penguins increaseing, while Adelie and chinstrap penguins are declining. 164567 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 false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 1 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true false false X X Ron Naveen President 2022376262 3292 Arcadia Place NW Washington DC 20015 X Ron Naveen President 40.00 X X X X 0 0 0 Grant Ferrier Chair 1.00 X 0 0 0 Catherine Nicholson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Forrest Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ford Nicholson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thom Gilligan Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffery Adams Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dylan Ogline Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Grant Humphries Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Forrest Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 16063 201170 217233 Sale of site guides 900099 95 0 0 95 7 0 0 217335 102 0 0 5325 4260 266 799 12008 9607 600 1801 407 326 20 61 7738 0 7738 0 831 664 42 125 3967 3174 198 595 16200 12960 810 2430 62840 62840 0 0 Antarctic Supplies 1343 1343 0 0 MAPPD Data 51330 51330 0 0 Website Content/maint 261 209 13 39 Dues & Subs/Ref Materials 4124 3995 129 0 27160 13859 2474 10827 193534 164567 12290 16677 23469 31533 1002 51007 24471 82540 5464 39732 5464 39732 X 19007 42808 19007 42808 24471 82540 23801 X X true X false false false X 0 137523 211922 253821 176619 217233 997118 0 0 137523 211922 253821 176619 217233 997118 171866 825252 7 9 6 7 29 0 0 997147 95 0.82760 0.87730 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Ellen Luria spouse of President 16200 annual office rent false Pt VI, Line 8a After each meeting, the President captures the content in writing and circulates such minutes to fellow board members.

Pt VI, Line 12c Independent CPA receives and reviews annual conflict of interest statements provided by each board member, as well as disclosure of possible conflicts.

Credit card charges and payroll taxes are recorded when the item is incurred; all other income and expense items are recorded when received or paid, respectively. Pt VI, Line 2 Board members Ford Nicholson and Catherine Nicholson are married. Other Part III, line 1. The mission is twofold: First, to monitor penguin populations on the frontlines of climate change in the Antarctic Peninsula. There, it has warmed faster than almost anywhere else and the gentoo penguin population has soared while Adelie and chinstrap populations have dramatically plunged. Secondly, from this flows our effort, using the lens of penguins, to create a new movement with a more positive and impactful climate change narrative about whether we will be winners who will adapt when the warming comes our way. Oceanites values are grounded in the belief that all of us, working together, can bring about positive change, and that too many people are disengaged from the reality that we are essentially no different than penguins. We breathe the same air and have the same necessities of life. We, too, are biological creatures who cannot sustain ourselves without food to eat, safe homes, a disease-free and healthy environment, and retaining the ability to produce kids and grandkids.
