DescConservation, Research and Animal Programs - The Florida Aquarium is dedicated to using a science-based, impact-driven approach to meet its Vision and Shared Purpose. With conservation being our foremost business focus we infuse our shared purpose throughout the Aquarium, from messaging, to sustainable business practices, to science, to action. We strategically focus on conservation initiatives that advance our Conservation Priorities, amplify our expertise, leverage and promote our partnerships, and maximize our ability to serve as Florida's leading conservation-based aquarium. We incorporate conservation messaging and action opportunities to connect our audiences to marine wildlife, expand their awareness of the Aquarium's conservation commitments and efforts, cultivate their understanding that they too can take impactful steps to help build a positive future, and provide opportunities to increase their conservation action engagement. The Florida Aquarium has identified four Conservation Priorities: * Safeguarding Imperiled Wildlife * Generating Healthy Habitats * Reducing Single-Use Plastic Consumption and Pollution * Advancing Sustainable Business Operations. Within these Priorities, we maintain a portfolio of Conservation Projects and Programs, such as our Coral Propagation and Restoration Program and Sea Turtle Conservation Program.Desc

Our outreach programs bring hands-on environmental science learning experiences into a variety of community spaces. We impact even more students through our professional development workshops for teachers and virtual class programming. In 2022, over 59,000 participated in the Aquarium's learning programs. Over the course of the Florida Aquarium's history, over 1.8 million people have benefited from its science education programs. Aqua Camps, educational day camps offered during school holidays and summer break each year, consistently sell out due to community demand and serve over 1,000 students each year. The Florida Aquarium's educators also travel up to 75 miles to provide in-person outreach programs in community spaces.

Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment fundsIt is the Aquarium's intention to grow these endowment funds in order to provide long-term financial stability for the Aquarium. Earnings from the Aquarium's endowment are currently being left in the endowment fund to help grow the corpus. As the endowment funds get larger, earnings will be released to help cover the annual costs of the Aquarium facility's preventative maintenance program to ensure that the Aquarium's living collection maintains the highest standards of health and safety protocols. Endowment earnings would also be used to promote and expand the Aquarium's conservation, education, and research efforts. Endowment funds are currently being held by The Florida Aquarium and The Florida Aquarium Foundation, Inc. as well as the Community Foundation.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnoteThe Florida Aquarium, Inc. and Foundation are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC. Income earned in furtherance of these entities' tax-exempt purposes is exempt from federal and state income taxes. As such, no provision for income tax expense has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Aquarium has adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management assessed whether there were any uncertain tax positions which may give rise to income tax liabilities and determined that there were no such matters requiring recognition in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Generally, the Aquarium is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before September 30, 2019.

ExplanationEach employee's bonus is based on the achievement of both organizational and individual goals. Organizational goals must be met before any employee is eligible for a bonus. If organizational goals are met, then the performance of each employee is assessed at the individual level to determine if the employee qualifies for a bonus. If the employee's performance qualifies them for a bonus, then a bonus is awarded at a pre-determined percentage based on the employee's job title level. These percentages are approved annually by the Compensation Committee.ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committeePursuant to Article VI, Section 2 of the organization's Bylaws, the Executive Committee acts on behalf of the Board between Board meetings and when the Board is not able to meet. The Executive Committee's role is to identify significant issues to come before the full Board for discussion and/or decision-making, contribute to the development of the Board meeting agenda, lead the Board in review and approval of long-term goals, annual and strategic plans, and policies and procedures as proposed by the Chief Executive Officer or other officers of the corporation or other committees, and provide support and guidance to the Chief Executive Officer and the officers of the corporation. The Executive Committee shall have and may exercise to the extent provided by resolution of the Board such powers of the Board as can be lawfully delegated by the Board, but the Board holds ultimate authority and responsibility for the governance of the corporation. All Executive Committee members are also members of the organization's governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 4 Significant changes to organizational documentsThe organization's Bylaws were amended in June 2022 to: 1) Change the minimum number of board members from three to nine; 2) Change the term limit for board members from one year to three years; and 3) Change the definition of "quorum" from one-third of the number of current board members to a majority of current board members.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a Members or stockholders electing members of governing bodyThe City of Tampa, owner of the Aquarium's building and land, has engaged The Florida Aquarium, Inc. to operate and manage the facilities on their behalf. As a condition of this Management Agreement, the City of Tampa is allowed to appoint 1 member to the Aquarium's Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and Finance Committee; and the City Council is allowed to appoint 1 member to the Aquarium's Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing bodyA copy of the Form 990 was reviewed in detail by the CFO, the President/CEO, and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and was also made available to each voting member of the organization's governing body prior to being filed.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policyAnnually, the Conflict of Interest policy and Questionnaire are distributed to all Officers, Board members, and Interested Parties. The Aquarium's President/CEO and CFO are responsible for collecting and tracking responses. Any potential conflicts are communicated to the Board Chair for analysis. One of the Aquarium's values focuses on transparency and openness. Any potential conflicts are openly discussed and resolved. Board members with potential conflicts will excuse themselves from deliberations and decisions that may be potential conflicts. The Aquarium's contract with the City of Tampa also requires an annual disclosure of compliance with the City's Non-Profit Ethics Ordinance. This ordinance requires that a conflict of interest policy be adopted.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management officialThe Aquarium's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors establishes, reviews, and approves, on an ongoing basis, the compensation amount of the President/CEO. Members with conflicts of interest do not participate in discussions. Comparability data such as compensation surveys, from the AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums), Mercer, Abb/Langer, WCEA, PRM, and the local Tampa Bay region and competitors are used to determine reasonableness of compensation level. The deliberations are recorded in the committee minutes. The Compensation Committee reports its activities to the Board. This process is undertaken annually, including fiscal year 2022.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employeesThe Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Development Officer, and the Sr. VP of HR directly report to the President/CEO. The President/CEO performs performance evaluations with each of these members. The President then recommends compensation to the Aquarium's Compensation Committee for review and approval. The Compensation Committee utilizes comparability data such as independent salary surveys to determine reasonableness of the recommended salary levels. The deliberations are recorded in the committee minutes. The Compensation Committee reports its activities to the Board. This process is undertaken annually, including fiscal year 2022.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the publicThe governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available to the public upon request. Once a request is made, the document or documents are either scanned and e-mailed or faxed to the requesting party.
