WE HAVE LAUNCHED PROGRAMS FOR 5TH AND 6TH GRADERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE TO TRIGGER FASCINATION AND THE AWARENESS FOR NATURE, WITH "SHELLS IN HANDS". SEASHELLS ARE NATURAL HISTORY OBJECTS THAT CAN BE USED AS HAND-OUTS IN SCHOOLS WITHOUT RISKING ALLERGIC REACTIONS OR OTHER PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED WITH OTHER ITEMS TAKEN FROM NATURE. A MAJOR THRUST OF THE FOUNDATION WILL BE PUBLISHING NEW RESEARCH RELATED TO THE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN ENUMERATED. TO THIS END, ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN PUBLISHING ONGOING WORK RELATED TO MALACOLOGY. A LARGE THRUST OF THIS FOUNDATION HAS BEEN TO ENCOURAGE AMATEUR CONCHOLOGISTS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTORS FOR RESEARCH AS WELL. THE DIFFERENT RESEARCH ENDEAVORS, AS WELL AS HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES, HAVE BEEN FEATURED ON THE ABOVEMENTIONED WEBSITE. NOT ONLY HAS THE WEBSITE FEATURED RESEARCH FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS AND SCIENTIFIC ADVISORS, BUT VARIOUS FEATURED ART AS WELL AS A COMPLETE DATABASE OF MANUSCRIPTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. THESE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED NOT ONLY IN RESEARCH ARTICLES, BUT ALSO IN FORUMS AND POSTED ON THE WEBSITE. IN ADDITION, ARTICLES AND FURTHER RESEARCH OF INTEREST FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE ALSO BEEN POSTED ON THE WEBSITE. 229284 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true 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 1 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false MD X MICHAEL A MONT 4109785782 3 GRENADIER COURT OWINGS MILLS MD 21117 MICHAEL A MONT PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 JUDITH GALE VICE PRESIDE 12.50 X X 26300 0 0 JEAN PRELLER SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 COLLEEN CROSS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NIPUN SODHI MEMBER AT LA 1.00 X X 0 0 0 26300 false false false 2703374 2454335 2703374 2703374 X 1100 1100 26300 26300 4930 4930 162247 162247 1000 1000 6110 6110 17208 13458 3750 2104 2104 5000 5000 9265 9265 SHELLS -SCHOOL DONATION 2700 2700 237964 229284 8680 0 27270 38345 7564600 10018935 7591870 10057280 0 0 X 27270 38345 7564600 10018935 7591870 10057280 7591870 10057280 2465410 X false false false X 100000 40000 40000 129500 724039 1033539 100000 40000 40000 129500 724039 1033539 662026 371513 1033539 X SUPPORTING SCHEDULE CYPRAEIDAE COLLECTION 1,071,835 VARIOUS SEASHELL COLLECTION 907,500 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED MOLLUSCAN SHELL COLLECTION 10018935 10018935 false EAST ASIA +THE PACIFIC SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH RESEARCH + TEACHING 5713 MIDDLE EAST +NORTH AFRICA SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH RESEARCH + TEACHING 23890 CENTRAL AMERICA + THE CARIBBEAN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH RESEARCH + TEACHING 13355 42958 42958 false false false false false false SCHEDULE F, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 3 EAST ASIA +THE PACIFIC 5,713 0 MIDDLE EAST +NORTH AFRICA 23,890 0 CENTRAL AMERICA + THE CARIBBEAN 13,355 0 X 4 2454335 PROFESSIONAL APPRAISALS 4 false true false FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF THE 990 IS MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS FOR REVIEW FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C THE BYLAWS OF THE ORGANIZATION REQUIRE THAT ALL POTENTIAL CONFLICTS BE DISCLOSED: DUTY TO DISCLOSE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE DIRECTORS AND MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES WITH GOVERNING BOARD DELEGATED POWERS CONSIDERING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15A THE PRESIDENT OF THE AGENCY CURRENTLY SERVES THE FUNCTION OF A MANAGING PARTNER, WITHOUT COMPENSATION.
