The Marine Academy consists of virtual learning content for groups, home school groups, and summer camp programs. The programs focus on fun STEM marine science-based online curriculum and activities. Kids can also stay connected with CMA by participating in virtual field trips and getting emerged in learning with Hope's Home-school activities available at the Education Station on our website. During FY20, we had over 38,000 views for our virtual curriculum offered in the Education Station area of our website. All of CMA's educational programming has a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) focus. Clearwater Marine Aquarium hosted approximately 300 students during our eleven-week summer camp program. Our educational Eco-Boat Tours inspired 25,000 guests to protect and preserve the marine environment. Also, CMA partnered with several schools to offer marine science-based virtual field trip programs. The Education Department continued to reach members of the community via virtual festivals and other community events. Over the past seven years, CMA has gone to over 170 schools as part of the Great American Teach-In, reaching over 10,000 students. In FY20, we participated in a virtual format with over 20 schools. 4715974 1496163 Animal Care:Marine MammalIn 2020, the animal care specialists kept very busy during the covid-19 pandemic. "Hemingway", a 35-year-old Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, stranded in the Florida Keys in July 2019. After months of rehabilitation due to lung issues, he was deemed non-releasable and found his forever home at CMA in May 2020. Upon meeting "Nicholas" the two become fast friends and can often be seen playing together. In July 2020, "Winter", "Hope", "PJ", "Nicholas", and "Hemingway" moved to the new Ruth and J.O. Stone Dolphin Complex. Additionally, in July 2020, 2 rough-toothed dolphins, "Rex and "Rudolph" joined the CMA family. "Rudolph" rescued by CMA in December 2019, is approximately 3 years old. "Rex", rescued near Panama City Beach in December 2017, is 6 years old. The two young dolphins don't let their hearing impairment get in the way of learning new things and finding new ways to have fun. The great white pelicans, "Ricky", "Skylar", "Matthew", and "Tyndall", now have another way to interact with guests at the newly opened 2nd aviary viewing window. The North American river otters maintain their energetic relationship with one another and enjoyed their varied enrichment!Sea Turtle and Aquatic BiologyIn 2020 we continued our efforts to increase our care for our resident sea turtles and aquatic fish by making improvements in our voluntary husbandry, diet adjustments, habitat enhancements, implementation of enrichment, and inspirational and memorable moments. This year we were able to voluntarily handle all turtle residents in our collection with the exception of 2 who still had to be physically manipulated into handling devices. Additionally, our husbandry efforts had proven successful with our fish species! A cownose sting ray, "Holstein," who lives in Mavis had not had an annual physical for years after being introduced into the exhibit. This past year, he was voluntarily trained to swim into a special husbandry device allowing a full vet work up!Enhancing our guest programming while adding revenue to the company was another focus for 2020. To promote conservation, the STAB team executed two Farm to Turtle programs led twice daily discussing topics such as sustainable farming, single use plastic, and the basics of reduce/reuse/recycle. Adjustments to both revenue and opportunities offered were made maximizing efforts with stingray beach.Finally, the vacated Winter Zone habitat afforded CMA an opportunity to collaborate with Coastal Conservation Association and Duke Energy in efforts to repopulate the red fish populations which were affected by the previous years red tide event.Sea Turtle Conservation ProgramThe Sea Turtle Conservation Program was granted an additional 8.47 miles of nesting beach in the 2020 season. Clearwater Marine Aquarium now monitors nearly 21 miles of nesting beaches in Pinellas County. During the season, STCP staff, volunteers and interns identified over 200 nests that produced over 10,500 live hatchlings. While the global pandemic challenged us, our team adapted, modifying our annual training sessions for local code enforcement and mechanical beach cleaning entities to various forms of online training so that they were still well informed on how they could contribute to a successful sea turtle nesting season. Our annual Sea Turtle Awareness Day was also held virtually, where a staff member educated viewers on our fieldwork and answered questions from the audience. This event was wildly successful, raising nearly $6,000! Our team also had the opportunity to develop a new collaboration this year. Unsafe traveling conditions due to the global pandemic was going to put Sea Turtle Conservancy's Beachfront Lighting Retrofit Program in jeopardy, as it often required their team to stay in hotels overnight to perform nighttime lighting evaluations at various beachfront properties. The Conservancy reached out to Clearwater Marine Aquarium to assist them with these nighttime evaluations in the Pinellas County area. Through our collaboration, we were able to ensure that the Beachfront Lighting Retrofit Program was not put on hold, and completed evaluations at 26 properties!RescueThe rehabilitation of a young, male Steno bredanensis, aka "Rudolph" was the primary focus of Rescue Team personnel for much of 2020. Following a successful rehabilitation, the team supported Rudolph through the transitional period, from life in the wild to life with human companionship, as well as collaborated with the resident caregivers on the transport of Rudolph and another Steno, "Rex", to their forever home at CMA. Prior to entering the major rehab event, the team had led search and monitoring efforts for bottlenose calf, CMA1923, which continued for a period of 3 weeks and resulted in a multiagency intervention. Other stranding activities involved a live Kogia specie and 61 live sea turtle rescues. Rescue Team continued supporting manatee rescue operations via collaboration with FWC, assisting in the rescue, transport, and/or relocation of over sixteen manatees. Lastly, a successful Prescott grant proposal resulted in a new cetacean necropsy mobile unit adding capacity to the SE stranding network in responding to cetacean carcass, of which the team recovered 10 bottlenose dolphin carcasses over the course of the year. Inspiration:Through sharing Winter's transformative story in the hit movies Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale 2, this inspirational story has continued to invoke passion in millions of people worldwide. Apart from capturing hearts across the globe, the impact Winter has had runs especially close to the community facing medical challenges and wounded military personnel. CMA donates general admission tickets to these families along with a variety of programs from specialized dolphin interactions to boat tours and personal tours of CMA. The CMA Inspiration program hosts children and families battling a wide variety of difficult illnesses, limb differences and much more. These free programs are designed to inspire and bring life change to the participants, of which CMA has hosted many thousands over the years. Through our ever-expanding social media audience and partnerships with wish-granting organizations across the country, hospitals and military partners, Clearwater Marine Aquarium continues to provide lasting inspirational experiences to thousands of children afflicted by injury or sickness We're proud to provide a space for families battling hard times to enjoy the inspiration of Winter's story in a calm, safe, and welcoming environment. 117341 117341 13750235 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 18 0 1 468 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 X 17 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 FL X X X Kathleen Mendoza 7274411790 249 Windward Passage Clearwater FL 337672244 John Draheim Chairman 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Paul Auslander Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Linda Griffin-Keliher Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Eric Busch Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas R Orr Past Chair 1.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Chivas At Large Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Phillip K Beauchamp At Large Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rowland Milam At Large Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donald Mandeville Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 R Nathan Hightower Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Martin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Rodney Anthony Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Vic Caserta Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Colin Devine Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Reznicek Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Stamey Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Dame CEO 40.00 X 451438 0 49393 Dick Regan CFO 40.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly Jordan CDO 40.00 X 113445 0 3032 James Powell Exec Dir CMARI 40.00 X 62859 83325 0 David Yates CEO (former) 40.00 X 965942 0 114595 Bill Potts CMRO 40.00 X 296376 0 23910 Michael Hurst VP of Operations and Zoological Care 40.00 X 141338 0 46925 Billy Campisciano VP of Conservation Marketing 40.00 X 182892 0 9734 Dawn De Santis VP of Guest Operations and HR 40.00 X 123762 0 1620 2338052 83325 249209 7 0 1 0 Creative Contractors Inc 620 Drew Street Clearwater FL 33755 Construction 22740041 Creative Arts Unlimited Inc 3730 70th Ave North Pinellas Park FL 33781 Construction 811150 Vertical Concrete Polishing PO Box 526 Carrollton GA 30112 Construction 480362 Ryan Herco Flow Solutions PO Box 74007459 Chicago IL 60674 Construction 443890 Healthgram Inc PO Box 11088 Charlotte NC 28220 Consulting 370895 5 661661 60000 320545 2260422 114450 3302628 Guest Admissions 713110 5301261 5301261 Marine Life Income 711300 1496163 1496163 Education Income 611600 524237 524237 Advertising Income 541800 35000 35000 7356661 268116 268116 13518671 10117 13700205 80040 -181534 -69923 -251457 -255102 3645 356460 60000 113819 242641 242641 2583737 904526 1679211 1679211 Other Program Income 900099 372443 372443 Food Service Shop Income 713990 297980 297980 670423 13268223 7439002 332980 2193613 2338052 2009556 244560 83936 4590841 3946094 480209 164538 88024 19138 56469 12417 1122205 471106 636073 15026 676919 455924 202055 18940 118924 3851 115040 33 37089 37089 200582 97959 102623 1080424 1076541 14 3869 37764 25622 11694 448 388798 264079 118875 5844 201865 201865 741606 668148 71532 1926 69744 58515 8502 2727 102138 98316 2502 1320 550920 519446 31474 1816847 1780173 36674 339977 330646 8808 523 Supplies 1050079 1034890 4544 10645 Repairs and Maintenance 323795 318882 4550 363 Merchant Processing Fee 257083 257083 Miscellaneous 189649 112401 76052 1196 124321 124321 16447646 13750235 2249339 448072 2331233 644780 13819436 2371244 4174659 2607735 52195 53570 1346649 1320924 116660 141757 99327091 8297808 62343679 91029283 6735308 501230 6196884 5787355 97116703 104457878 7354993 4861114 442859 179962 12898467 26627209 20696319 31668285 X 69576013 67353081 6844371 5436512 76420384 72789593 97116703 104457878 X -3179423 81265 -532633 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2034188 4797318 22672967 20142028 3302628 52949129 19031030 15265867 15764324 17082179 9905398 77048798 21065218 20063185 38437291 37224207 13208026 129997927 0 0 0 129997927 304679 144848 294232 572324 268116 1584199 304679 144848 294232 572324 268116 1584199 39321 75506 211280 670423 996530 21369897 20247354 38807029 38007811 14146565 132578656 0.98050 0.98700 0.01190 0.01070 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2719383 79816 2799199 2758196 -38813 2719383 2688368 69828 2758196 2523524 164844 2688368 2395203 128321 2523524 0.70000 0.30000 1 0 5603855 5603855 58251511 6409316 51842195 4523031 1464962 3058069 30948694 423530 30525164 91029283 Externally Controlled Endowments 2799199 Film Costs 1800000 Other Assets 192866 Sea to Shore Due to/from 995290 5787355 X 12989395 81265 49848 -409941 -278828 13268223 0 13268223 17400858 49848 903364 953212 16447646 0 16447646 Part V, Line 4: The Organization's third-party endowments consist of two externally managed funds established for a variety of purposes. The endowments are both donor-restricted endowment funds. The funds are held by third-party trustees and therefore the Organization has no direct influence over the investment policy of either fund. The Organization classifies as permanently restricted net assets the original value of the gifts donated to the permanent endowments. As required by GAAP, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The Organization's policy is to appropriate interest and dividends received from these endowments for operations. Therefore, interest and dividend income is reported as unrestricted on both the combined statement of activities and statement of activities. The Board of Directors of the Organization has interpreted the Florida Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (FUPMIFA) as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment funds absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, the Organization classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. All permanently restricted net assets consist of perpetual trusts held by third parties. For all endowment funds, the donors have stipulated that additional accumulation of funds above and beyond the permanent endowment are unrestricted as to purpose, however the Organization reports the accumulation of funds as temporarily restricted net assets until the funds are distributed by the trustees to the Organization and appropriated by the Board of Directors. Part X, Line 2: The Organization has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a). The Organization accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The Organization has identified its tax status as a tax-exempt entity as its only significant tax position; however, the Organization has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The Organization is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. The Organization's federal returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The organization will submit a draft of the 990 to the Board of Directors for review and discussion prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Any Board Member that has a potential conflict of interest, as defined in our Conflict of Interest statement, must bring it to the Board of Directors for review. The Board subsequently makes a determination on the issue. The conflict must be raised prior to any director voting on an issue for which they have a potential conflict. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Board of Directors of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) is totally responsible for determining the compensation for its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is a member of the Board, and for compensating him based on his performance as compared to specific goals and objectives established for him by the Board of Directors. The By-laws of the CMA call for the formation of a Compensation Committee, the membership of which is composed of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. Based on the short and long term strategies and objectives of CMA, the Compensation Committee is empowered by the Board of Directors and charged with establishing criteria and objectives for CEO performance and annually evaluating and determining achievement of performance of the CEO and levels of incentive payouts for both qualitative and quantitative objectives. The Compensation Committee obtains and reviews market survey data from a number of independent studies and surveys from which data is obtained for comparable positions at comparable organizations. For use in determining CEO compensation for 2018, market survey data from five separate independent sources was utilized by the Compensation Committee: Grant Thornton LLP's Compensation and Benefits Consulting Services who conducted a comparable market compensation review of the CEO's compensation program to ensure it is competitive, reflective of best practices and fully supportive of CMA's mission and strategy; the POE Group, an independent executive compensation consulting firm specializing in the design and implementation of corporate pay systems for top management who conducted an evaluation of the reasonableness of CMA's CEO total compensation package considering the duties and responsibilities of the position; the 2016 Member Compensation Survey conducted by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA); the 2017 Survey of Compensation and Benefits sponsored by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the National Aquarium and conducted by Fitzgerald's Compensation Consulting Services, Inc., an independent third-party compensation consulting organization; the 2018 GuideStar Nonprofit Compensation Report of key employee compensation at more than 112,000 charitable nonprofit organizations. In addition to these independent surveys, the Compensation Committee themselves also reviewed the Form 990's from comparable organizations to evaluate and determine the reasonableness of CMA's compensation for its CEO and senior level staff. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is also empowered by the CMA By-laws to evaluate compensation ranges, both base salary and potential bonus, for newly created positions of CMA senior staff and to periodically review compensation ranges of all CMA senior staff positions to ensure competitive and fair compensation levels with those of similar organizations with similar responsibilities. The Compensation Committee, which is the Executive Committee of the Board, presents the recommended compensation, both salary and bonus, of the CEO to the full Board who approves the compensation.
