| Desc | EXHIBITION: THE AQUARIUM IS A MASSACHUSETTS CHAPTER 180 NON-PROFIT CORPORATION FORMED FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPERATING A PUBLIC AQUARIUM IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. THE MISSION OF THE AQUARIUM IS TO BE A CATALYST FOR GLOBAL CHANGE THROUGH PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, COMMITMENT TO MARINE ANIMAL CONSERVATION, LEADERSHIP IN EDUCATION, INNOVATIVE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY FOR VITAL AND VIBRANT OCEANS. IN ADDITION TO ITS EXHIBITS, THE AQUARIUM OPERATES AN IMAX THEATER, GIFT SHOP, CAF, CATERED EVENTS, EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND SPONSORED PROGRAMMING IN MARINE RESEARCH, CONSERVATION AND EDUCATION. THE AQUARIUM RELIES ON ADMISSIONS REVENUE, RETAIL SALES TO ITS VISITORS AND PRIVATE GIFTS AND GRANTS FOR THE MAJORITY OF ITS OPERATIONS. THESE REVENUES AND SUPPORT ARE PRIMARILY DERIVED FROM VISITORS AND DONORS FROM THE GREATER BOSTON AREA, THE NEW ENGLAND REGION AND TOURISTS TO THE CITY.OUR RECENT FOCUS HAS BEEN ON VISITOR EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXHIBIT PLANNING; ENHANCING OUR EDUCATION AND STEWARDSHIP PROGRAMS; AND IMPLEMENTING A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN. THE CENTER PIECE OF OUR NEW STRATEGIC PLAN IS THE CREATION OF THE ANDERSON CABOT CENTER FOR OCEAN LIFE AT THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM (ANDERSON CABOT CENTER) WHICH WILL LEVERAGE AND EXPAND THE AQUARIUM'S INNOVATIVE APPLIED MARINE SCIENCE AND DATA-DRIVEN CONSERVATION SOLUTIONS TO COMBAT THE UNPRECENTED THREAT TO OUR OCEANS REPRESENTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE AND OTHER HUMAN ACTIVITIES. ON THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE FRONT, WE IMPLEMENTED NEW ENGAGEMENT TRAINING FOCUSED ON HELPING FRONT-LINE STAFF FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO OUR MISSION AND MORE COMFORTABLE RELATING THEIR WORK TO OUR MISSION. FROM AN EXHIBIT STANDPOINT, WE COMPLETED THE OLYMPIC COAST EXHIBIT IN OUR COLD MARINE GALLERY FOR AN APRIL 15, 2016 PUBLIC OPENING. THIS EXHIBIT SETS A NEW STANDARD FOR DIGITAL GRAPHICS AND ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION. WE ALSO LAUNCHED A "TENTACLES" THEME PROGRAM IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NEW EXHIBIT, INCLUDING GUIDING COLLATERAL AND CART-BASED ACTIVITIES LED BY OUR STAFF AND VOLUNTEER INTERPRETERS.WE ALSO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE AZA REACCREDITATION PROCESS, AND RECEIVED CONTINUING ACCREDITATION FOR 5 YEARS AT OUR HEARING IN MARCH. THE INSPECTION TEAM CITED THE STRENGTH OF OUR ANIMAL CARE, EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION PROGRAMS AS WELL AS THE ENHANCEMENT OF OUR EXHIBIT PATH WITH THE 2013 GIANT OCEAN TANK RENOVATION. | Desc |

| Desc | RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION: THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED THE ANDERSON CABOT CENTER FOR OCEAN LIFE AT THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM IN JUNE 2016. IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2016, OUR FOCUS WAS ON DEVELOPING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE NEW CENTER, INCLUDING THE APPOINTMENT OF DR. JOHN MANDELMAN AS VICE PRESIDENT. IN THE LATTER PART OF THE YEAR, WE COMMENCED A STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING PROCESS FOR THE CENTER WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF 2017. - OUR RIGHT WHALE TEAM FIELDED ITS 36TH CONSECUTIVE RESEARCH SEASON IN THE BAY OF FUNDY. WE ALSO SURVEYED IN SEVERAL NEW AREAS THIS YEAR TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW AND WHY RIGHT WHALE MOVEMENTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS MAY BE CHANGING. - AMY KNOWLTON AND TIM WERNER RECEIVED FUNDS FROM THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS TO WORK WITH LOBSTERMEN TO DESIGN AND TEST MODIFIED ROPES FOR USE IN THE FISHERY THAT CAN DECREASE THE RISK OF ENTANGLEMENT.- IN 2016, THE MARINE CONSERVATION ACTION FUND SUPPORTED 6 SMALL-SCALE HIGH-IMPACT PROJECTS; THE MOST RECENT WILL USE CUTTING-EDGE ENVIRONMENTAL OR E-DNA TO IDENTIFY THE PRESENCE OF HIGHLY ENDANGERED SAWFISH IN MEXICO. - SCOTT KRAUS AND COLLEAGUES FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS UNDERTOOK THE SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT OF A PROPOSED MARINE NATIONAL MONUMENT OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. THE ANDERSON CABOT CENTER SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS PLAYED A MAJOR PART IN THE DESIGNATION OF THE ATLANTIC NATIONAL MARINE MONUMENT. - ANDERSON CABOT CENTER SCIENTISTS JEFF KNEEBONE AND JOHN MANDELMAN, AS WELL AS THEIR COLLEAGUES, BECAME THE FIRST GROUP TO SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOY SATELLITE TAGS ON THORNY SKATES IN THE GULF OF MAINE (COUSINS OF THE SHARKS AND RAYS). SPECIFICALLY, THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BETTER UNDERSTANDING THE HABITAT PREFERENCES, RISK AREAS AND MOVEMENT PATTERNS FOR THE ENDANGERED THORNY SKATE TO ALLOW FOR MORE TARGETED AND EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION OF THIS SPECIES.- JOHN MANDELMAN'S TEAM ALSO LED RESEARCH CONCLUDING THAT IT IS INDEED POSSIBLE FOR CUSK (A VULNERABLE SPECIES THAT RESIDES ON THE BOTTOM IN COASTAL NORTH ATLANTIC WATERS) TO SURVIVE AND RECOVER AFTER SUFFERING SEVERE BAROTRAUMAS EXPERIENCED WHEN THESE ANIMALS ARE RAPIDLY HAULED UP FROM DEPTH DUE TO FISHING ACTIVITIES. ONCE THE RESEARCH ANALYSIS IS COMPLETED, THE GUIDED PRACTICES TO INCREASE THE SURVIVAL PROBABILITY WILL BE DISSEMINATED TO DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS, SUCH AS THE RECREATIONAL FISHING INDUSTRY AND FISHERIES MANAGEMENT SOURCES. - AQUARIUM FISHERY AND AQUACULTURE EXPERTS WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD INITIATIVE'S SEAFOOD CERTIFICATION BENCHMARKING TOOL, WHICH HELPS COMPANIES EVALUATE THE USE OF CERTIFICATIONS IN THEIR SEAFOOD SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENTS. THIS YEAR, THE FIRST CERTIFICATION SCHEMES WERE FORMALLY RECOGNIZED BY GSSI AND MANY MAJOR BUYERS (E.G., AHOLD, METRO, KROGER, AND SODEXO) AGREED TO ONLY SOURCE SEAFOOD CERTIFIED BY RECOGNIZED SCHEMES. | Desc |

| Desc | EDUCATION - FOR OVER 40 YEARS, THE AQUARIUM HAS PROVIDED LIFE-CHANGING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, FROM A CHILD TOUCHING A SEA STAR TO AN ADULT LEARNING HOW HIS DAILY ACTIONS CAN AFFECT THE OCEAN. THE AQUARIUM'S EDUCATIONAL IMPACT IS BROAD AND EVER-EXPANDING. FROM TODDLERS TO RETIREES, FROM THE HEART OF BOSTON, ACROSS NEW ENGLAND AND AROUND THE WORLD, OUR DIVERSE AUDIENCES HAVE EXPERIENCES THEY WILL NEVER FORGET.NEAQ EDUCATION PROGRAMS WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE CITY AND OTHER PARTNERS TO IDENTIFY AND FILL NEEDS AND TO DRAW ON OUR DISTINCTIVE ROLE AS AN URBAN GATEWAY TO OCEAN SCIENCE. SOME OF THE KEY WAYS IN WHICH THE AQUARIUM PROGRAMS ENHANCE COMMUNITY SERVICES INCLUDE: (1) STEM PROGRAMMING THAT IMPROVES SCHOOL SUCCESS FOR EARLY SCHOOL-AGE LEARNERS, (2) STEM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS IN AFTER-SCHOOL AND SUMMER PROGRAMS THAT BUILDS CAPACITY IN THESE PROGRAMS, (3) SUMMER EMPLOYMENT, STEM, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT THAT INCREASES COLLEGE AND JOB READINESS FOR UNDERSERVED TEENS, AND (4) INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH TO ENGAGE WITH THE WONDERS OF THE OCEAN AS AN ENTRY POINT FOR UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS AND THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN SOLVING PROBLEMS.OUR CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION INITIATIVE "NNOCCI PROGRAM" BUILDS THE CAPACITY OF THE AQUARIUM AND OTHER INFORMAL SCIENCE EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE, WITH THE GOAL OF SHIFTING PUBLIC DISCOURSE ON THIS ISSUE TO BE MORE SCIENCE-BASED, PRODUCTIVE, AND SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED.OUR NSF-FUNDED NNOCCI PROGRAM HAS NOW REACHED 150 AQUARIUMS, ZOOS, AND SCIENCE/NATURE CENTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH EVIDENCE-BASED CLIMATE COMMUNICATION TRAINING. WE HAVE LAUNCHED THREE NEW REGIONAL TRAINING CENTERS IN THE NORTHEAST, SOUTHEAST, AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR REACH AND IMPACT.EVALUATION RESULTS FROM OUR CLIMATEENS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR TEENAGERS WERE VERY POSITIVE. NEARLY 100% OF PARTICIPANTS INDICATED THAT THE PROGRAM INCREASED THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE, INCREASED THEIR ABILITY AND CONFIDENCE IN COMMUNICATING ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO THE PUBLIC, AND ENHANCED THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP TO THEIR PEERS. | Desc |

| Desc | OTHER - THE AQUARIUM IS A PIONEER IN RESCUE AND REHABILITATION OF CERTAIN MARINE MAMMALS AND OTHER SPECIES. DURING THE WINTER OF 2016, WE RESCUED AND REHABILITATED STRANDED SEA TURTLES (PRIMARILY KEMP'S RIDLEY TURTLES) RESULTING FROM COLD-STUNNING. WE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AT BOSTON HARBOR CRUISES ("BHC") TO OFFER THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM WHALE WATCH, OPERATED BY BHC. THIS COMBINED EFFORT HAS GENERATED INCREASED WHALE WATCH ATTENDANCE AND EXPANDED SIGNIFICANTLY THE REACH OF OUR WHALE CONSERVATION PROGRAMMING. | Desc |
