NANTUCKET SOUND POSSESSES SIGNIFICANT MARINE HABITAT FOR A DIVERSITY OF ECOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT SPECIES. THE SOUND IS SIGNIFICANT FOR SEVERAL FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES OF WILDLIFE AND A VARIETY OF COMMERCIALLY AND RECREATIONALLY VALUABLE FISHERIES.THE SOUND IS SITUATED AT A CONFLUENCE OF THE COLD LABRADOR CURRENTS AND THE WARM GULF STREAM. THIS CREATES A UNIQUE COASTAL HABITAT, REPRESENTING THE SOUTHERN RANGE FOR NORTHERN ATLANTIC SPECIES AND THE NORTHERN RANGE FOR MID-ATLANTIC SPECIES. NANTUCKET SOUND IS CHARACTERIZED BY AN EXTREME RICHNESS OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY, CONTAINING HABITATS THAT RANGE FROM OPEN SEA TO SALT MARSHES. NANTUCKET SOUND IS MORE THAN A BODY OF WATER. IT IS A SOURCE OF LIVELIHOOD FOR MANY LOCAL FISHERMEN, AN INSPIRATION FOR ARTISTS, AND A SOURCE OF SOLACE, RELAXATION, AND RECREATION FOR THE MILLIONS THAT FLOCK TO ITS SHORES. NANTUCKET SOUND IS THE ECONOMIC ENGINE OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. THE LOCAL FERRY OPERATORS ALONE TRANSPORT OVER THREE MILLION PASSENGERS PER YEAR THROUGH NANTUCKET SOUND, AND 400,000 FLIGHTS PER YEAR TRAVERSE THE AIRSPACE OVER THE SOUND. THE SOUND IS AN IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT NATURAL TREASURE THAT MUST BE PRESERVED AND PROTECTED.NANTUCKET SOUND IS UNIQUE FOR MANY REASONS:*THE SOUND IS ONE OF ONLY TWO AREAS IN THE COUNTRY WHERE FEDERAL WATERS ARE SURROUNDED BY STATE WATERS AND IS THE ONLY LOCATION WHERE THESE STATE WATERS ARE DESIGNATED AS A SANCTUARY UNDER STATE LAW.*THE SOUND IS THE ONLY OCEAN-BASED TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTY AND WAS RECOGNIZED AS SUCH FOR ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO THE AREA'S WAMPANOAG TRIBES.*THE SOUND IS BORDERED BY ONSHORE NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS, INCLUDING THE KENNEDY COMPOUND ON CAPE COD, WESLEYAN GROVE AND THE FLYING HORSES CAROUSEL ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD, AND THE ENTIRE ISLAND OF NANTUCKET.NANTUCKET SOUND PROTECTION EFFORTSNANTUCKET SOUND HAS LONG BEEN UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR PROTECTED STATUS. *IN 1971, NANTUCKET SOUND STATE WATERS, OUT TO THREE MILES FROM THE SHORELINES OF CAPE COD, MARTHA'S VINEYARD, AND NANTUCKET, WERE DESIGNATED AS THE MASSACHUSETTS CAPE AND ISLANDS OCEAN SANCTUARY UNDER STATE LAW. HOWEVER, THE FEDERAL WATERS IN THE CENTER OF THE SOUND REMAINED UNPROTECTED.*IN 1980, THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS NOMINATED THE SOUND FOR DESIGNATION UNDER THE NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARIES ACT. *IN 1983, THE FEDERAL RESOURCE EVALUATION COMMITTEE, APPOINTED BY THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA'S) SANCTUARY PROGRAM, DETERMINED NANTUCKET SOUND WAS WORTHY OF DESIGNATION. THE SOUND WAS LISTED ON THE SITE EVALUATION LIST IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER AS ONE OF 28 AREAS "FROM WHICH NOAA WILL SELECT SITES TO EVALUATE AS CANDIDATES FOR NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARIES."*IN JANUARY 2010, THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE RECOGNIZED THE UNIQUE HISTORIC AND TRIBAL VALUES OF THE SOUND AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AS A TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTY. ALLIANCE ACTIVITIES*THE ALLIANCE SUBMITTED COMMENTS TO THE BUREAU OF OCEAN ENERGY MANAGEMENT ON THE NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (DEIS) FOR VINEYARD WIND'S PROPOSED WIND ENERGY FACILITY OFFSHORE MASSACHUSETTS. THE ALLIANCE PARTICIPATED WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN THE SECTION 106 REVIEW OF VINEYARD WIND'S HISTORIC AND TRIBAL IMPACTS UNDER THE NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT.*THE ALLIANCE FORMULATED FEDERAL LEGISLATION - THE NANTUCKET SOUND NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK ACT - TO DESIGNATE THE SOUND AS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK, PROHIBIT FEDERAL APPROVAL OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT INCONSISTENT WITH EXISTING SAFEGUARDS UNDER STATE LAW, AND ADDRESS THREATS TO WATER QUALITY, COASTAL EROSION, AND HABITAT DEGRADATION. THE LEGISLATION IS SUPPORTED BY MASSACHUSETTS' GOVERNOR, THE CAPE DELEGATION, LOCAL MUNICIPAL AND TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS, HISTORIC PRESERVATION GROUPS, COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN, ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS, BUSINESSES, SHIPPING AND MARITIME TRANSPORTATION ENTITIES, OFFSHORE WIND DEVELOPERS, AND OTHERS. BY THE END OF 2019, THE BILL WAS SUPPORTED BY A COALITION OF OVER 75 DIVERSE GROUPS, AND MANY MORE IF MEMBER GROUPS OF STAKEHOLDER COALITIONS ARE INCLUDED.*THE ALLIANCE HOSTED SEMI-ANNUAL MEETINGS TO UPDATE STAKEHOLDERS, PROVIDED INTERVIEWS TO MEDIA, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR AND OP-EDS FOR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS, UPDATED SUPPORTERS ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH LETTERS, NEWSLETTERS, PHONE CALLS, EMAILS, PERSONAL MEETINGS, AND QUARTERLY DIRECT MAIL CAMPAIGNS. THE ALLIANCE ALSO HELD NUMEROUS FUNDRAISING EVENTS TO UPDATE DONORS AND PROSPECTS.*THE ALLIANCE BEGAN TO STRUCTURE AND PLAN FOR AN EDUCATIONAL SERIES TO HIGHLIGHT THE MANY UNIQUE VALUES OF NANTUCKET SOUND FROM A HISTORIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND ECONOMIC STANDPOINT. 661354 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 11 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X X AUDRA PARKER PRESIDENT & CEO 5087759767 4 BARNSTABLE ROAD HYANNIS MA 02601 AUDRA PARKER PRESIDENT AND CEO 40.00 X X 214158 0 57729 WILLIAM KOCH CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 WAYNE KURKER VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID CRAWFORD TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JACI BARTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA BIRDSEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RON BORJESON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GREG EGAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE EGAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRED FLOYD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALAN GRANBY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT R JONES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN OSMOND DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ISAAC ROSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 214158 0 57729 1 0 1 0 PERKINS COIE LLP 1201 THIRD AVE SUITE 4800 SEATTLE WA 98101 LEGAL 358071 1 37780 1220744 177089 1258524 3535 3535 38890 37780 38890 0 1262059 0 0 3535 214158 128495 10708 74955 234187 105384 35128 93675 25960 10396 2602 12962 53738 21901 7448 24389 26326 11847 3949 10530 245804 245804 27115 3540 19150 4425 77226 77226 4193 2232 206 1755 24303 2856 116 21331 30114 4625 811 24678 27972 12734 3703 11535 51499 27460 60 23979 783 783 6765 2667 1124 2974 TELEPHONE 10226 3937 847 5442 OTHER EXPENSES 2042 250 1782 10 1062411 661354 88417 312640 103351 41357 764807 997877 6623 8184 50310 49511 1582 799 876363 1048217 552416 524622 552416 524622 X 323947 523595 323947 523595 876363 1048217 199648 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2112274 1873590 1818665 1228703 1297414 8330646 2112274 1873590 1818665 1228703 1297414 8330646 2063703 6266943 1709 2595 2934 3894 3535 14667 475 942 1417 8346730 0.75080 0.75530 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 97210 97210 965201 1062411 181241 45310 0 0 244611 239209 204896 181241 869957 1304936 107077 65845 160143 97210 430275 61153 59802 51224 45310 217489 326234 9071 9071 0 40206 39407 799 1033 1033 0 799 X PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)3 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CODE AND IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES ON TRADE OR BUSINESS PROFITS GENERATED BY ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXEMPT FUNCTION.
