In 2020 SBMM received a 10-year Accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), placing it into the top echelon of museums across the country. Of the more than 35,000 museums in the United States, fewer than 1,100 are currently accredited by AAM. In fiscal year 2022 the SBMM also completed the first year of its 5-year Strategic Plan, which provides staff and the Board of Directors the tools to navigate the future course of the SBMM.Coming out of Covid the Museums education program has greatly expanded, offering new content for students across Santa Barbara County, including new classroom and outdoor instruction activities such as Whales Are Superheroes!, which provides both instruction and an art activity to show how whales help with climate change. The museums nationally recognized Maritime on the Move program continues to grow, allowing students to have hands-on experiences along the Carpinteria coastline, the Santa Barbara Harbor, and Osos Flaco Lake. This innovative program has received multiple awards, including:Being named a finalist in the American Alliance of Museums 2021 EdCom Award for Innovation and Education Award- Pandemic EditionBeing awarded the California Alliance of Museums California Natural Resources Agency Secretarys Public Education Award for Excellence in SustainabilityBeing asked by the Council of American Maritime Museums to present about the program at their 2021 national conferenceReceived the Epic award for Excellence in EducationThe majority of students participating in SBMM education programs come from public elementary schools in Santa Barbara County that qualify for Title I funding and serve low-income households.

SBMM also continues to work with local artist and educator Sondra Weiss to bring Love Letters to the Sea to local after-school groups. Normally students come to the Museum, watch a short film about the harmful effect plastics have when they get into our rivers and oceans, and then create and decorate their own envelopes, using old sea charts, and write letters stating why they think it is important to keep our oceans clean. These Love Letters are then delivered to world leaders by celebrities such as explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau or musician Jack Johnson. Museum staff created an exhibit featuring the Love Letters packets so youth can work on them from the safety of their own home.In September 2021 SBMM staff piloted a new program titled Girls in Ocean Science. Featuring female naturalists from throughout the county, this program put 25 female high school students aboard the Double Dolphin (with an all-female crew!) and then had them do various hands-on activities at the museum. The purpose is to inspire these young ladies to go to college and pursue careers in various marine science fields. The program expanded to include junior high school students in September October 2022.Whales Are Superheroes! complemented SBMMs new permanent exhibit of the same name. For this education program SBMM sends staff and naturalists to classrooms countywide to show how whales help with climate change, and includes an art component taught by Sondra Weiss. Students learn to appreciate the role whales play in providing oxygen to our planet, helping our oceans provide more of the air we breathe each day than trees do. 1000472 true true false false false false false true false true true false false true true true true false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true 16 0 true 28 true true true false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 22 22 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Greg Gorga 8059628404 113 Harbor Way 190 Santa Barbara CA 93109 Greg Gorga Executive Direc 40.00 0.00 X 133670 0 19103 John Brinker Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gail Anikouchine Treasurer 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ed Brady Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Leslie Power Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Epstein Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roger Chrisman Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Cooper Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Bolton Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cindy Makela Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elsbeth Kleen Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wilson Quarre Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sabrina Papa Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sigrid Toye President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Schwemmer Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Stirling Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 George Writer Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John McIntyre Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Thomas Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chuck Wilson Vice President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Randall Fox Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Weisman Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jarrell Jackman Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Suzi Schomer Secretary 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alex Weinstein Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 133670 19103 1 false true false . 0 29700 7000 1766380 25251 1803080 Admissions 900099 76718 76718 Education programs 900099 2031 2031 78749 1191 1191 0 0 48275 9978 38297 38297 38297 25414 25251 163 163 163 29405 29700 23667 5738 5738 0 82135 44300 37835 37835 Other income 900099 4930 4930 4930 1969983 83679 37835 45389 0 0 0 0 144773 35522 55023 54228 0 629774 404178 69317 156279 16546 8998 4118 3430 54664 30582 13605 10477 65969 35310 16328 14331 0 0 41238 41238 0 28602 28602 0 62996 23945 24450 14601 18216 14346 3870 16127 2883 13224 20 42616 27831 11867 2918 0 111192 90484 10354 10354 0 0 2738 38 1771 929 0 0 195150 156120 19515 19515 19844 17793 2051 Education program costs 67838 66363 1475 Repairs and maintenance 38571 38326 245 Donor recognition 34108 5229 152 28727 Utilities 22952 18362 2295 2295 76921 38508 18071 20342 1690835 1000472 317970 372393 0 693456 734525 70195 367304 16529 0 0 0 0 24481 29553 14847 32021 5621268 4028677 1733943 1592591 685306 695586 0 0 0 716369 717553 3955126 4169133 131213 151934 19700 30540 150913 182474 X 2649377 2554074 1154836 1432585 3804213 3986659 3955126 4169133 X 279148 -9538 -87164 X false true X true false X 1062256 1289699 1403017 1637888 1805725 7198585 0 0 1062256 1289699 1403017 1637888 1805725 7198585 1264893 5933692 116705 82805 80846 4302 49466 334124 0 0 7532709 529088 0.78770 0.80250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X false 250000 35000 -8868 276132 175882 75000 963 1845 250000 165357 10000 525 175882 145000 20000 357 165357 135000 10000 145000 0.22780 0.77220 false false false 2236977 1573909 663068 548251 537338 10913 2836040 1917430 918610 1592591 Cash held for Exhbits 98389 Deposits 2154 Interest in charitable remainder trust 454075 Prepaid rent 162935 717553 Advance deposits 27740 Rental deposits 2800 30540 X 1917581 -9538 -42864 -52402 1969983 1969983 1735135 44300 44300 1690835 1690835 Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, o Artifact collectionThe Museum maintains a comprehensive maritime artifacts collection.
