FORM 990, PART III: MANOMET'S MISSION: MANOMET USES SCIENCE AND COLLABORATION TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF FLYWAYS, COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS, AND WORKING LANDS AND SEAS. MANOMET'S VISION: MANOMET ENVISIONS A WORLD WHERE ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN COMMUNITIES THRIVE TOGETHER. MANOMET'S VALUES: LEAD WITH EXCELLENCE. UPHOLD SCIENTIFIC RIGOR. CREATE EQUALITY. WORK BOLDLY. COMMIT TO ACCOUNTABILITY. COLLABORATE WITH ALL. STAY FOCUSED. NURTURE WHOLENESS. FLYWAYS: MONITOR ALL SHOREBIRD POPULATIONS ACROSS THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE: INCREASED MONITORING OF ALL SHOREBIRDS WILL BETTER INFORM PRIORITY LOCATIONS FOR SITE CONSERVATION WORK. BASED ON OUR LONG-TERM DATA ON CRITICAL SHOREBIRD STOPOVERS, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE MOST IMPORTANT SITES TO FOCUS ON IN THE COMING YEARS. GIVEN THE CURRENT TRENDS IN HABITAT LOSS, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW EVERY SHOREBIRD SPECIES USES HABITAT TO PRIORITIZE FUTURE CONSERVATION EFFORTS. WE WILL GROW OUR MONITORING TO DEVELOP A FULL PICTURE OF SPECIES AT RISK, INCLUDING THE MANY SPECIES ABOUT WHICH WE KNOW VERY LITTLE. ENSURE THE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SITES FOR SHOREBIRDS THROUGHOUT THE AMERICAS: PARTNERSHIPS ARE KEY TO ACHIEVING SHARED CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS. MANOMET STAFF HELP PARTNERS MAINTAIN AND INCREASE ENGAGEMENT TO PROMOTE EFFECTIVE CONSERVATION MEASURES AT THE HIGHEST PRIORITY SITES FOR SHOREBIRDS IN THE HEMISPHERE. EXPAND WESTERN HEMISPHERE SHOREBIRD RESERVE NETWORK DESIGNATION TO 41 MILLION ACRES OF SHOREBIRD HABITAT AT 120 SITES IN 20 COUNTRIES IN THE AMERICAS: MANOMET HOSTS THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE SHOREBIRD RESERVE NETWORK (WHSRN), A PARTNERSHIP-DRIVEN CONSERVATION INITIATIVE FOR PROTECTING CRITICAL HABITATS FOR SHOREBIRDS THROUGHOUT THE AMERICAS. RESILIENT HABITATS: REVERSE COASTAL HABITAT DECLINES ON 1,000 ACRES OF CRITICAL HABITAT IN THE GEORGIA BIGHT: WE ARE IMPROVING AT LEAST 1,000 ACRES OF PRIORITY HABITAT OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS FOR SHOREBIRDS, SEA BIRDS, AND OTHER WILDLIFE ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA BARRIER COASTS. BY COLLABORATING WITH LOCAL LAND MANAGERS AND CONDUCTING TARGETED RESEARCH, WE WILL IMPLEMENT CONSERVATION ACTIONS TO ADDRESS THREATS AT SPECIFIC SITES. PROTECT AND RESTORE TIDAL ZONE HABITATS WITH ENGINEERING BEST PRACTICES: WE ENGAGE STATE PARTNERS FROM MAINE TO FLORIDA TO IMPLEMENT HABITAT IMPROVEMENTS TO BENEFIT COASTAL BIODIVERSITY. WORKING WITH THE COASTAL STATES ORGANIZATION, THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, STATE COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITIES, STATE WILDLIFE RESOURCE AGENCIES, AND THE US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, WE WILL HELP STEER SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT DECISIONS FOR THE PARALLEL OUTCOMES OF HABITAT IMPROVEMENT AND COASTAL COMMUNITY RESILIENCE. APPLY OUR UNDERSTANDING OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON NEARSHORE COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS AND FISHERIES PRODUCTIVITY TO STRENGTHEN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION: PRODUCTIVE AND HEALTHY COASTAL AND NEARSHORE ECOSYSTEMS INCLUDE THRIVING POPULATIONS OF INTERTIDAL INVERTEBRATES AND FISH THAT USE BOTH MARINE AND FRESHWATER HABITAT. WORKING LANDS AND SEAS: DELIVER EFFECTIVE SCIENCE-BASED MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TO 500,000 ACRES OF WORKING LANDS AND SEAS: APPLYING SCIENCE IS CORE TO EVERYTHING WE DO. BY PROVIDING TECHNICAL GUIDANCE AND CLEARLY COMMUNICATING SCIENTIFIC RESULTS TO STAKEHOLDERS, WE ENSURE THAT OUR SCIENCE IS APPLIED TOWARD SOLUTIONS. OUR SCIENCE TEAM WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR PROGRAM TEAMS TO ENSURE OUR GUIDANCE AND METRICS ARE THOROUGHLY INTEGRATED AT PRIORITY SITES. KEY STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDE: COASTAL COMMUNITIES, PRIORITY PRODUCERS AND SHRIMP FARMERS. EDUCATION AND OUTREACH: EXPAND THE SCOPE AND IMPACT OF MANOMET'S EDUCATION PROGRAMS: MANOMET WILL ESTABLISH ITSELF AS A REGIONAL LEADER IN HIGH-QUALITY ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION BY COMMITTING TO HANDS-ON, INQUIRY-BASED SCIENCE INSTRUCTION AND ALIGNING OUR PROGRAMS WITH NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES AND THE CURRICULAR NEEDS OF SCHOOLS. PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP THROUGH EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT: U360 IS AN ONLINE EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS TO LEARN SOFT SKILLS, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, AND SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTS AND APPLY THEM IN THE REAL WORLD THROUGH DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH SMALL BUSINESSES. REDUCE SYSTEMATIC BARRIERS TO ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND CONSERVATION CAREERS: WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FIELDS OF CONSERVATION BIOLOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY IN THE UNITED STATES ARE LACKING IN DIVERSITY.
