Ocean Conservancy has achieved a membership audience of more than 100,000, a volunteer cleanup audience of at least 600,000 each year and a social media audience of more than 400,000.

Building on established relationships in the region and solid scientific knowledge of its ecosystems and wildlife, Ocean Conservancy's Gulf Restoration and Fisheries Conservation program staff and our policy experts are putting their expertise to work by working with various decision makers and regulators; conducting on-the-ground research and observation; and publishing reports and recommendations for decision-makers and citizens alike. We developed a framework for restoration that is a blueprint to restore the Gulf to its rightful place as a national treasure, and we are working to ensure that necessary funds for long term science and Gulf restoration are committed. 3941089 45191 Ocean Policy Science and Governance - Ocean Conservancy translates threats into sound practical policies that protect our ocean and improve our lives. We recognize that real leadership means real cooperation between governments, businesses, scientists, policymakers, conservation organizations and citizen advocates. We seek to achieve this by advocating for improvement in quality and quantity of ocean research and monitoring, reform of ocean governance and planning for various ocean uses like fishing, fish farming, and other types of resource development. Thanks to improved management practices and restoration of nursery habitat, many of our nation's fisheries are producing sustainable yields that fuel a strong economy, support well-paying jobs, provide for ample recreational opportunities and supply Americans with healthy seafood. 2731525 12840 Marine Debris Education & Prevention: Over the last 27 years, Ocean Conservancy has been bringing together passionate ocean lovers and helping them work for trash free seas.

We research and share key details about what is trashing our ocean with the public, scientific community and decision-makers. We are also bringing together leaders from industry, government and academia through the Trash Free Seas Alliance to lead to innovative solutions that stop trash at the source. 2395571 69820 Arctic Protection: Ocean Conservancy is working to help citizens and decision-makers alike understand what is at stake in the Arctic region of the United States, where oil drilling and climate change are increasing threats. We are advocating for science-based solutions to prevent reckless drilling and ensure that Arctic people and wildlife thrives and its waters remain healthy and clean. 5127096 82660 16302339 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 68 0 1 105 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X Kenneth Donaldson 2024295609 1300 19th St NW 8th Fl Washington DC 20036 David Aldrich Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Dane Nichols Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 William Martin Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Edward Miller Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas Allen Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Capps Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Henn Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Eva Ho Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Justice-Moore Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jeremy Milo Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Orbach Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Oros Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen Palumbi Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 John Sargent Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Strongin Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lawrence Wagenberg Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly Wanser Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Suzanne Woolsey Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Andreas Merkl CEO 50.00 X X 345982 0 38756 Janis Jones President 50.00 X 328328 0 46896 Lawrence Amon CFO 24.00 X 122210 0 7333 Emily Woglom VP, Conservation Programs 50.00 X 201084 0 20328 Chris Dorsett VP, Conservation Programs 50.00 X 169112 0 40304 Sarah Humphries VP, Resource Development 50.00 X 190690 0 15796 Julia Roberson VP, Communications 45.00 X 142989 0 18273 Marie Michelson VP, Digital Strategy 45.00 X 141270 0 18225 Kenneth Donaldson VP, Finance 45.00 X 139564 0 18181 Donna Hill VP, HR & Administration 45.00 X 138132 0 18040 Elizabeth Hallman Director, Corporate Philanthropy 40.00 X 137494 0 12935 2056855 0 255067 18 0 1 0 MCKINSEY & COMPANY INC PO Box 7247-7255 Philadelphia PA 191707255 Environmental & Economics consulting 700000 DANIEL J EDELMAN INC 21992 Network Place Chicago IL 606731219 Strategic Communications 257500 MAL WARWICK & ASSOCIATES 2550 Ninth Street Suite 103 Berkeley CA 94710 Direct Mail Consulting 228063 SANDRA WHITEHOUSE 175 Carroll Avenue Newport RI 02840 Marine Spatial Planning 215000 RESOURCE MEDIA 155 Sansome Street San Francisco CA 94104 Media Consulting 140000 7 144018 289357 18182615 133313 18615990 503246 503246 55786 55786 2403364 2716610 -313246 -313246 -313246 18861776 0 0 245786 X 134599 134599 7500 7500 1578887 1161017 204392 213478 6325800 4651240 818947 855613 280430 206322 36287 37821 1286470 946499 166466 173505 546560 402122 70724 73714 35103 17038 11384 6681 71547 71547 254370 254370 455852 455852 60155 60155 3628787 3421766 195243 11778 167992 138382 295 29315 4123740 2447759 225259 1450722 22328 9954 11534 840 1238375 884340 221050 132985 918384 805577 42445 70362 344947 302577 15942 26428 96385 64628 19868 11889 80047 53673 16501 9873 Subscriptions 187995 118149 12627 57219 List rental 159234 95222 159 63853 Donated goods 30250 30250 Prof. fund. fee alloc 0 129059 -129059 34195 20296 4415 9484 22069932 16302339 2205240 3562353 X 4505085 2694041 4505 1806539 3540126 3256622 200180 200195 10062015 7583000 124858 88749 760218 567060 1922517 1589462 237714 333055 21057106 20635227 1019361 1017369 37001578 33681277 1359950 1078875 360604 234224 1207658 1160247 2928212 2473346 X 16828436 17174436 15652760 12441325 1592170 1592170 34073366 31207931 37001578 33681277 -3208156 342721 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 20898891 21322543 18145072 30924938 18615990 109907434 20898891 21322543 18145072 30924938 18615990 109907434 35020998 74886436 980274 993125 821521 647823 559032 4001775 43 7000 2 7045 113916254 379427 0.65740 0.65120 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Miscellaneous - 2011 Amount: $ 43. 2012 Amount: $ 7,000. 2013 Amount: $ 2. 2014 Amount: $ 0.

The VP for Finance performs a detailed review of the 990 and reconciles any questions and modifies the return if necessary.

In the case where a possible conflict by an employee other than the CEO of the organization is identified, the CEO shall determine whether an actual or potential conflict of interest exists or can be reasonably construed to exist and how the conflict of interest should be resolved. When a conflict of interest is disclosed by a covered person other than a covered employee or by the CEO, the Chair shall disclose the conflict of interest to the Board of Directors or a designated committee. Then by majority vote of the disinterested Directors (even if the disinterested Directors constitute less than a quorum) it will be decided whether an actual or potential conflict of interest exists or can be reasonably construed to exist. Proposals to the full Board of Directors as to how the conflict of interest should be resolved will then be provided.
