WE ARE CURRENTLY LAUNCHING A TEACHING UNIT FOR 6TH GRADERS TO TRIGGER FASCINATION AND THE AWARENESS FOR NATURE, WITH "SHELLS IN HANDS". SEASHELLS ARE NATURAL HISTORY OBJECTS THAT CAN BE USED AS HAND-OUTS IN SCHOOLS WITHOUT RISKING ALLERGIC REACTIONS OR OTHER PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED WITH OTHER ITEMS TAKEN FROM NATURE. A MAJOR THRUST OF THE FOUNDATION WILL BE PUBLISHING NEW RESEARCH RELATED TO THE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN ENUMERATED. TO THIS END, ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS OF THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN PUBLISHING ONGOING WORK RELATED TO MALACOLOGY. A LARGE THRUST OF THIS FOUNDATION WILL BE TO ENCOURAGE AMATEUR CONCHOLOGISTS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTORS FOR RESEARCH AS WELL. THE DIFFERENT RESEARCH ENDEAVORS, AS WELL AS HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES, WILL BE FEATURED ON THE ABOVEMENTIONED WEBSITE. NOT ONLY WILL THE WEBSITE FEATURE RESEARCH FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS AND SCIENTIFIC ADVISORS, BUT VARIOUS FEATURED ARTICLES AS WELL AS A COMPLETE DATABASE OF MANUSCRIPTS WILL BE INCLUDED. THESE EFFORTS WILL BE DOCUMENTED NOT ONLY IN RESEARCH ARTICLES, BUT IN FORUMS AND POSTED ON THE WEBSITE. IN ADDITION, ARTICLES AND FURTHER RESEARCH OF INTEREST FROM AROUND THE WORLD WILL ALSO BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE 129911 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false MD X MICHAEL A MONT 4109785782 3 GRENADIER COURT OWINGS MILLS MD 21117 MICHAEL A MONT PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 JUDITH GALE VICE PRESIDE 12.50 X X 31300 0 0 JEAN PRELLER SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 COLLEEN KACZMAREK TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NIPUN SODHI MEMBER AT LA 1.00 X X 0 0 0 31300 false false false 1432400 1300600 1432400 1432400 X 31300 31300 2300 2300 69421 69421 600 600 2681 2681 17148 13398 3750 2373 2373 7838 7838 SHELLS -SCHOOL DONATION 1200 1200 EDUCATIONAL - REEFALOOZA 1100 1100 135961 129911 6050 0 31431 27270 6264000 7564600 6295431 7591870 0 0 X 31431 27270 6264000 7564600 6295431 7591870 6295431 7591870 1296439 X false false false X 100000 40000 40000 129500 309500 100000 40000 40000 129500 309500 309500 309500 X SUPPORTING SCHEDULE CYPRAEIDAE COLLECTION 1,017,700 POORTMAN NEW ZEALAND MOLLUSCA 282,900 MOLLUSCA COLLECTION 7564600 7564600 X 2 1300600 PROFESSIONAL APPRAISALS false true false FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF THE 990 IS MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS FOR REVIEW FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C THE BYLAWS OF THE ORGANIZATION REQUIRE THAT ALL POTENTIAL CONFLICTS BE DISCLOSED: DUTY TO DISCLOSE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST AND BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE DIRECTORS AND MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES WITH GOVERNING BOARD DELEGATED POWERS CONSIDERING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15A THE PRESIDENT OF THE AGENCY CURRENTLY SERVES THE FUNCTION OF A MANAGING PARTNER, WITHOUT COMPENSATION.
