MMSC is the only state and federally authorized facility in the State of New Jersey to do this work. 0 0 400184 Animal Stranding and Care:MMSC responds to the strandings of whales, dolphins, seals, and sea turtles in New Jersey and occasionally assists with strandings in other states. Since its 1978 inception, MMSC has responded to over 6,350 strandings. This program includes: MMSC response to the stranding location by staff or trained volunteers; assessment of the animal's condition; transportation of the animal to MMSC for additional assessment by veterinarian; care and treatment for injuries or illness, and eventual release back into the ocean. 41738 34809 Sea Life Education Center and Museum:MMSC staff, trained volunteers and interns explain the mission of the Center and conduct tours of this 1940's era 12-sided building that houses many displays about the animals and the beach environment. Visitors learn about the types of problems the animals encounter due to illness, injury, and pollution. The building is open to the public year round, with extended hours during summer months. School children visit the Center throughout the year and summer programs are available to visitors. Programs include visiting the back bays and beaches to learn ecology, and dolphin and turtle stranding classes. Since 1983 there have been over 700,000 visitors to the museum. 36140 1370 Educational Services:MMSC staff and trained volunteers conduct outreach programs to schools, adult groups, and outdoor festivals. Programs are presented using PowerPoint, photo displays, and artifacts to give the audience a hands-on experience. Staff and volunteers attend festivals and fairs, where information is distributed to thousands of attendees via pamphlets and photo displays. Presenters also answer questions from their audience. We estimate that more than one million individuals have received these programs over the past 45 years. 478062 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 24 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 NJ X X The Organization 6092660538 3625 Atlantic Brigantine Blvd Brigantine NJ 08203 Robert C Schoelkopf President of the Board 40.00 X X 0 0 0 Sheila Dean Director 40.00 X X 61724 0 0 Kenneth R Schaffer Jr Chairman of the Board 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Charles E Pessagno Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 George Kurtz Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mark W Logan VDM Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 George Miller Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Kelly Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Johnson Trustee 5.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Heun Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Douglas Heun Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Lt Taylor J Smith Trustee 2.00 X 0 0 0 Angela Brindisi Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 61724 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 21537 708239 9754 729776 Education fees 611600 1370 1370 1370 144 144 50000 0 50000 50000 50000 18175 21537 15789 2386 2386 64816 30007 34809 34809 Other revenue 900099 4278 4278 4278 822763 36179 0 56808 127108 60468 37949 28691 285413 191356 94057 58756 35868 18802 4086 5000 5000 18645 17185 1460 4827 4827 28861 14148 6223 8490 31676 30091 1585 94 89 5 44264 42051 2213 29212 27751 1461 Animal care 57202 57202 Development expense 5800 5800 Museum expense 1261 1261 Education programs 592 592 698711 478062 168750 51899 692403 765010 102126 102126 18460 18936 30831 32285 861875 610495 207206 251380 1186 8857 1052212 1178594 17456 12115 1186 8857 18642 20972 X 888322 884509 145248 273113 1033570 1157622 1052212 1178594 124052 0 X X 0 0 0 X 688573 606258 698878 707329 729776 3430814 688573 606258 698878 707329 729776 3430814 3430814 129 157 153 2277 144 2860 503 4077 3404 4469 4278 16731 3450405 350355 0.99430 0.99500 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 342645 238552 104093 519230 371943 147287 251380 Current lease liabilities-operating 8857 8857 X Part X, Line 2: Management has evaluated uncertain tax positions taken by MMSC. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority. MMSC has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2022.
