IN JANUARY 2024, ORE RECEIVED ALL NECESSARY PERMITS TO BEGIN OYSTER REEF RESTORATION ON OUR FIRST TEN-ACRE AREA IN THE MANATEE RIVER THAT WILL SUPPORT LARGE, HEALTHY PRODUCTIVE OYSTERS. OUR 10-ACRE RESTORATION SITE IS BY FAR THE LARGEST OYSTER RESTORATION PROJECT ON THE SUNCOAST. HAVING ACHIEVED THE MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT OF ACQUIRING PERMITS, WE HAVE STARTED OYSTER RESTORATION AND ARE SEEKING FUNDING TO COMPLETE THE INITIAL 10 ACRES WHICH WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY RE-INTRODUCING HARD SUBSTRATES (AKA CULTCH) TO THE SEAFLOOR/RIVER BOTTOM ALLOWING LARVAL OYSTERS TO ATTACH AND GROW INTO A FULLY FUNCTIONING OYSTER REEF. 19510 83966 ORE'S WATERSHED HABITAT RESTORATION PROGRAM ENCOMPASSES ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION OF ALL OTHER HABITATS OUTSIDE OF OUR OYSTER RESTORATION PROGRAM. WITH A DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION TECHNIQUES AND A PROJECT PORTFOLIO FULL OF REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT RESTORATION PROJECTS INCLUDING ROBINSON PRESERVE, PERICO PRESERVE, TOM BENNET PARK, UNGARELLI PRESERVE AND MORE, ORE'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (AND SEVERAL OF ORE'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS) HAS THE TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT SUCCESSFUL RESTORATION PROJECTS THROUGH THE WATERSHED. ORE'S PROJECTS UNDER THIS PROGRAM TO DATE HAVE FOCUSED ON AS THIS PROGRAM MATURES, WE INTEND TO IMPLEMENT LARGE-SCALE UPLAND RESTORATION PROJECTS THAT INCLUDE FULL SCALE GROUNDCOVER RESTORATION OF HIGHLY DIVERSE NATIVE ECOSYSTEMS LIKE PINE FLATWOODS AND SCRUB. WE ARE ALSO DEEPLY EXPERIENCED DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING FRESHWATER WETLAND RESTORATION PROJECTS WHICH WILL BECOME A LARGER PART OF OUR PROJECT PORTFOLIO AS WE GROW. 15722 ORE'S ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM IS INTERTWINED WITH ALL OUR WORK. WE OPERATE UNDER THE PREMISE THAT THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE BROAD AND LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS IS TO ENGAGE WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE DURING ALL PHASES OF ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION PROJECTS THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AND TARGETED EDUCATION TOWARDS THOSE WHO ARE LESS LIKELY TO DEVELOP AN APPRECIATION AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NATURAL WORLD AROUND THEM. THIS IS WHY ALL THE WORK WE DO INCLUDES AN ELEVATED LEVEL OF VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT AND YOUTH EMPOWERMENT TO MAKE THEM DIRECT STAKEHOLDERS IN THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND PROVE FIRSTHAND THAT THEY CAN BE A POSITIVE FORCE IN RESTORING THE NATURAL WORLD. 129322 1 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 FL X DAMON MOORE 9415678738 702 SUNDANCE TRAIL WIMAUMA FL 33598 DAMON MOORE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 117000 0 0 RYAN HORSTMAN CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RUSTY CHINNIS VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOY LEGGETT-MURPHY SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KEEGAN MURPHY TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ROB BROWN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELLIOT PROUT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 117000 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 238961 106318 345279 FEES FOR SERVICE 900099 83966 83966 83966 429245 83966 0 0 117848 94278 23570 9474 7579 1895 118 118 2849 2849 2359 2359 5493 5493 3027 3027 FIELD SUPPLIES EXPENSE 18941 18941 MISCELLANEOUS 4230 2962 1268 FUEL EXPENSE 69 69 164408 129322 35086 0 55465 293297 45774 7263 11506 38511 66971 331808 0 0 X 66971 331808 66971 331808 66971 331808 264837 0 X 0 0 0 X 195701 345279 540980 195701 345279 540980 110180 430800 540980 87560 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 45774 7263 38511 38511 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 JOY LEGGETT-MURPHY (SECRETARY) IS THE MOTHER OF KEEGAN MURPHY (TREASURER).
