Also during the year, Algalita educated 5,905 students directly through in-class workshops and field research opportunities, distributed 143 plastic pollution teaching kits, and trained 158 educators on how to deploy Algalita curriculum in their classrooms that reached over 48,160 students around the world. Lastly during 2017, Algalita developed two new youth programs: the POPS Experienceship Program and the Algalita Youth Board. 38098 RESEARCHDuring the 2017 calendar year, Algalita launched an ocean plastic pollution monitoring program in the South Pacific. Partnering with various Chilean universities, Algalita traveled over 1,200 miles along remote Chilean coastline collecting over 50 water samples, comparing them with beach data, which will be analyzed for plastic content at UCN Coquimbo and provide the first ever baseline data set for the northern half of the country. 31170 PREVENTIONAlgalita spoke on a panel where we stressed the urgent need for preventative solutions, including product redesign and source reduction. On a policy level, Algalita worked with 89 students from four local high schools to collect expanded polystyrene pollution data in Long Beach, CA. After working with the Algalita team for over a year to understand the impact of expanded polystyrene, Long Beach City Council unanimously voted to move forward with drafting language for an ordinance that will prohibit the use of single-use food and beverage containers made of expanded polystyrene foam, rigid polystyrene #6, and non-recyclable and non-compostable material for prepared food distribution. 346341 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false 12 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X KATIE ALLEN 5625984889 148 NORTH MARINA DRIVE LONG BEACH CA 90813 TERRI BUCHANAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RONALD E JAGNER Vice President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NIKHIL DAVE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MALLORY BURDEN Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF CARRICK Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLE HARRIS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAN KALMICK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN POFFENBARGER President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARIETA FRANCIS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES MOORE Founder 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATIE ALLEN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 45833 0 0 45833 0 false false false 0 300 2815 437108 7941 440223 PREVENTION AND OUTREACH 541900 9471 9471 9471 28035 28035 0 350 350 0 0 1413 2815 1413 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 624 624 624 478703 10445 28035 0 0 0 0 45833 23375 9167 13291 0 82010 63233 10204 8573 0 0 13271 7952 3049 2270 0 0 12780 5834 6946 0 0 0 0 3643 2150 1493 5386 3015 2371 0 0 25721 17147 8574 3973 1014 959 2000 0 0 0 0 3048 3048 5146 3431 1715 PROGRAM 197975 197975 FUND DEVELOPMENT 10645 10645 INKIND GOODS 7941 7941 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 4864 4264 200 400 14754 9010 4411 1333 436990 346341 50644 40005 105510 216593 40677 5116 0 1232 100 0 0 0 0 0 43868 33978 12938 9890 605 605 0 0 0 240841 209816 401803 442120 3723 2327 3723 2327 X 220449 258915 82631 85878 95000 95000 398080 439793 401803 442120 41713 X true X false false false X 295330 432269 270208 496455 429467 1923729 23149 920 72099 9209 9471 114848 0 0 0 318479 433189 342307 505664 438938 2038577 0 0 2038577 32367 7901 1682 15625 28035 85610 0 32367 7901 1682 15625 28035 85610 0 22469 13953 7165 3789 47376 350846 463559 357942 528454 470762 2171563 0.93880 0.94780 0.03940 0.03350 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 239397 100 30598 59059 2663 208373 215686 10250 16050 2589 239397 266674 1682 50000 2670 215686 213400 101 213299 false false false 1475 228 1247 42393 33750 8643 9890 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN QUASI ENDOWMENT 208373 DEPOSIT 1443 209816 698083 219380 219380 478703 478703 656370 219380 219380 436990 436990 CHARLES MOORE FOUNDER, DIR. 104570 CHARTER AGREEMENT false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information On April 30, 2015, Algalita entered into a lease agreement through December 2025, for the use of an oceanographic research vessel along with crews for the purpose of conducting marine research, and/or educational activities that involve near-shore or long-term ocean voyages.
