DescAQUARIUM VISITATION ADMISSIONS - THE AQUARIUM WELCOMED 800,000 GUESTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2018. THESE VISITORS ENJOY AND LEARN ABOUT THE AQUARIUM'S 7,000 AQUATIC PLANT AND MARINE FISH AND ANIMAL RESIDENTS THROUGH SELF-GUIDED TOURS AND GUEST ENGAGEMENT FACILITATORS. THIS EXPERIENCE PROVIDES AN EYE-OPENING WINDOW INTO LIFE BELOW THE SURFACE. MANY OF OUR GUESTS NEVER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THESE RICH AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS IN THE WILD, BUT THEY CAN HAVE CLOSE ENCOUNTERS AT THE AQUARIUM. VISITORS TO THE AQUARIUM ARE EXPOSED TO FRAGILE NATURE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF FLORIDA'S AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT. IN FISCAL YEAR 2015, THE AQUARIUM COMPLETED ITS $15 MILLION CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, RISING TIDES. THIS CAMPAIGN PROVIDED THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE NEW STINGRAY BEACH, VINIK CHANNELSIDE ROOMS, NEW GUEST SERVICES AND TICKETING CENTER, AND THE CAROL J. & BARNEY BARNETT LEARNING CENTER. IN FISCAL YEAR 2017, THE FINAL PIECE OF RISING TIDES PROJECT WAS COMPLETED - THE MOSAIC CENTER. THE OUTDOOR PLAZA AND SPLASH PAD WERE ALSO COMPLETED AND A NEW 4-D THEATER WAS ADDED. IN FISCAL YEAR 2018, CONSTRUCTION BEGAN ON THE HEART OF THE SEA EXHIBIT IN THE RE-IMAGINED WAVES OF WONDER GALLERY.Desc

DescCONSERVATION, RESEARCH & ANIMAL PROGRAMS - THE AQUARIUM'S ANIMAL CARE AND HEALTH STAFF IS MOST PROUD OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS BEING MADE IN AQUATIC CONSERVATION & RESEARCH PROGRAMS. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENT IN FISCAL YEAR 2018 RELATES TO THE AQUARIUM'S WORK IN CORAL PROPAGATION AND RESTORATION, WITH OUR PARTNERS INCLUDING THE NATIONAL AQUARIUM OF CUBA. WE ARE NOW ABLE TO STUDY THE PRISTINE CORAL REEFS OF CUBA, WHICH WILL PROVIDE INSIGHT ON HOW TO SAVE CORALS IN FLORIDA. THE COLLABORATION EFFORTS BETWEEN THE AQUARIUM, FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION (FWC), AND TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY (TECO) ALSO CONTINUE. THESE 3 PARTIES HAVE COME TOGETHER TO CREATE A "FLORIDA CONSERVATION & TECHNOLOGY CENTER" ON LAND ADJACENT TO TECO'S MANATEE VIEWING CENTER. THIS CENTER WILL HOUSE THE AQUARIUM'S HOLDING, RESCUE, REHAB, CONSERVATION & RESEARCH EFFORTS - ALLOWING SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH IN THESE ACTIVITIES. AN ARTIFICIAL WETLANDS HAS BEEN CREATED ON THE PROPERTY, 2 CORAL ARK GREENHOUSES, A YOUTH LEARNING CENTER, AND A SEA TURTLE REHABILITATION BUILDING HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED.

Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment fundsIt is the Aquarium's intention to grow these endowment funds in order to provide long-term financial stability for the Aquarium. Earnings from the Aquarium's endowment are currently being left in the endowment fund to help grow the corpus. As the endowment funds get larger, earnings will be released to help cover the annual costs of the Aquarium facility's preventative maintenance program to ensure that the Aquarium's living collection maintains the highest standards of health and safety protocols. Endowment earnings would also be used to promote and expand the Aquarium's conservation, education, and research efforts. Endowment funds are currently being held by The Florida Aquarium and The Florida Aquarium Foundation, Inc. as well as the Community Foundation.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnoteThe Aquarium and Foundation are not-for-profit organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC, and are exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the IRC, and are also exempt from state income taxes. Management believes that the unrelated business income generated by the Aquarium is not material to the consolidated Financial Statements. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure, and transition. Management asserts that no such uncertain tax positions exist for the Aquarium at September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4c PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENT(CONTINUED FROM PART III) THE CAROL J. & BARNEY BARNETT LEARNING CENTER HAS ALLOWED STUDENTS TO FOLLOW THE STORY OF TANGO, THE ENDANGERED GREEN SEA TURTLE, ON HER JOURNEY FROM HATCHLING TO THE DEEP OCEANS. THE LEARNING CENTER CONTAINS 4 THEMED CLASSROOMS AND 1 STATE-OF-THE-ART LABORATORY. IN 2018, THE AQUARIUM'S SUCCESSFUL AND IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING WITH CHILDREN FROM TITLE 1 SCHOOLS CONTINUED WITH THE EXTENSION OF PARTNERSHIPS WITH SULPHUR SPRINGS & DESOTO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. THROUGH GRANT FUNDING, TEACHER PROGRAMS, OUTREACH AND CLASSROOM FIELD TRIPS WERE ALL OFFERED TO THIS UNDERSERVED GROUP. ADDITIONAL GRANT FUNDING ALSO PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR EDUCATORS TO CONTINUE STATEWIDE TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS, AND THE CONTINUATION OF THE POPULAR "REGIONAL OCEAN CONFERENCE FOR STUDENTS" (CELEBRATING ITS 20TH YEAR IN 2018) AND "WHAT'S IN YOUR WATERSHED" CLASSROOM PROGRAMS. GRANTS FROM NOAA AND THE EPA ARE ALLOWING UNDERSERVED 5TH GRADERS TO PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMMING AT THE CENTER FOR CONSERVATION. FINALLY, OUR EDUCATORS LIKE TO HAVE FUN WITH OUR GUESTS TOO THROUGH SLEEPOVERS, CAMPS, BIRTHDAY PARTIES, AND ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS(CONTINUED FROM PART III) THE AQUARIUM CONTINUES TO LEAD IN INVESTIGATING INNOVATIVE METHODS FOR RESTORING DAMAGED CORALS. AQUARIUM STAFF WERE IN THE FLORIDA KEYS FOR THE ANNUAL CORAL SPAWNING EVENT. THE NEWLY SETTLED PRIMARY CORAL POLYPS WERE BROUGHT BACK TO THE AQUARIUM FOR CARE IN OUR HOLDING SYSTEMS AT THE CENTER FOR CONSERVATION. A SECOND CORAL ARK GREENHOUSE WAS OPENED IN FISCAL 2018 TO SUPPORT THIS WORK. SOME NEW TECHNIQUES WERE TRIED AND WERE SUCCESSFUL WHICH SUGGESTS THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO MODIFY THE WAY CORALS ARE SPAWNED FOR RESEARCH AND RESTORATION EFFORTS. THE AQUARIUM TEAM EXPANDED ITS CORAL WORK IN 2018 BY WORKING WITH NOAA ON ANALYZING THE DECLINE OF PILLAR CORALS IN THE FLORIDA KEYS. RESCUE AND REHAB WORK CONTINUES WITH SEA TURTLES. OVER ITS HISTORY, THE AQUARIUM HAS SUCCESSFULLY REHABILITATED ALMOST 150 SEA TURTLES, FULFILLING ITS VISION TO PROTECT AND RESTORE OUR BLUE PLANET. THE BIOLOGICAL OPERATIONS TEAM ALSO CONDUCTS ANIMAL PROGRAMS ON-SITE AT THE AQUARIUM, TO ALLOW VISITORS AN UP-CLOSE, IMMERSIVE AND INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE WITH THEM. DIVE WITH THE SHARKS AND SWIM WITH THE FISHES ALLOW GUESTS TO ACTUALLY GET IN THE EXHIBIT HABITATS FOR A UNIQUE, MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. THE MOST POPULAR INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE AT THE AQUARIUM ARE THE PENGUIN ENCOUNTERS. GUESTS CAN VISIT THE SOUTH AFRICAN PENGUINS IN THEIR SUITES TO LEARN HOW THEY LIVE AND ARE CARED FOR AT THEIR AQUARIUM HOME.
