Collaborating with Tufts University, the Lloyd Center completed its 13th year as the Buzzards Bay coordinator of the Seabird Stranding Network, documenting instances of seabird mortality and live-bird activity on the western shoreline of Buzzards Bay. Lloyd Center scientists conducted rare-species habitat assessments on Martha's Vineyard, and a number of other nearby locations. The Center also gathered baseline data for its Biodiversity Initiative, documenting the biota of southeastern Massachusetts. The Center continued its collaboration with Martha's Vineyard conservation agencies. In addition to its continuing work in protecting Piping Plovers and state threatened species including Diamondback Terrapins on the Commonwealth's Division of Conservation and Recreation beaches in Bristol County, the Center completed its 30th year of monitoring and protecting the federally-listed ("threatened") Piping Plovers. Research staff also participated in Bioblitzes in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as the Rhode Island East Bay and the Massachusetts Bristol County North American Butterfly Association's Fourth of July Butterfly Counts. Rare species (insects) surveys were conducted across eastern Massachusetts. Habitat evaluation of impacts on a rare moth, Papaipema sulphurata, as part of a salt marsh restoration plan was conducted for Friends of Herring River. 244156 69105 Environmental Education: The Lloyd Center continues to provide an increasing number of unique hands-on science programs for schoolchildren and adolescents in over 20 different New England cities and towns, at levels ranging from kindergarten through college. This past year, the Lloyd Center worked with over 40 elementary and middle schools in the region, visiting a growing number of students on a regular basis to teach interactive lessons on relevant and critically important environmental issues. Three of the curriculum-based offerings, Feathery Focus (an ornithology program specially created for the third-grade level) and Turn-the-Tide (a program dealing with the ecosystems of local estuaries, taught on the fifth-grade level), as well as the Climate Science Learning Project have proven to be especially effective. All education programs are designed to meet the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks in Science and Technology/Engineering and in History/Social Studies. For children ages 5-15, the Center's Education Department annually provides up to 15 distinct summer programs designed to help students develop a better understanding of science and a deeper appreciation for the need to protect the fragile nature of our coast. Every year, as many as 13,000 students benefit from the participation in Lloyd Center education programs. 152103 10374 Environmental Outreach: The Lloyd Center offers a wide variety of programs designed to engage the minds of southeastern New England citizens of all ages, expanding their understanding of the fragile nature of our coastal environment and the importance of working together to protect it. This past year over 2,900 people participated in programs, which included canoe tours, kayak trips, birthday parties, nature walks, shore-birding expeditions, seal-watches, whale-watches, midnight "owl-prowls", and Family Fun Day events, butterfly and moth identification workshops, as well as our annual fall rowing and paddling regatta, designed to raise awareness of the threats facing the delicate ecosystems of local estuaries. Five miles of rustic hiking trails, open to the public every day from dawn to dusk on the Lloyd Center's Hardscrabble Nature Preserve, and a broad variety of live marine animal exhibits, complemented by programs and seminars, continue to draw a growing number of citizens of all ages to our Visitor Center. In addition, outreach collaboration with partnering organizations continues to prove exceptionally effective in promoting lifestyle changes aimed at a more sustainable use of natural resources. The Center's unique website provides a vast amount of environmental research and education information for those who seek it electronically. 536517 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X X X Rachel L Stronach 5089900505 430 Potomska Road Dartmouth MA 02748 MEG CHRIST DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MYRNA W HALL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MORRIS W KELLOGG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER L MACDONALD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LESLIE E J MCKINLEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT PIELECH CPA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN DEMAREST RATH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN B WITZIG PHD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHRYN KAVANAGH PHD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE P NELSON MD CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHRYN C DUFF VICE CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD J RHEAUME PE LSP TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN G CLEAR CLERK 5.00 X X 0 0 0 RACHEL L STRONACH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 60.00 X 56603 0 4829 56603 0 4829 0 0 0 0 0 32840 81452 22064 1386906 145433 1523262 Program Fees 611710 127121 127121 127121 10071 10071 166200 165388 812 812 812 54004 81452 90917 -36913 -36913 1624353 127121 0 -26030 64330 54681 3216 6433 296598 276766 14991 4841 2592 1980 417 195 42560 32918 6328 3314 28205 22000 3949 2256 11069 11069 11235 11235 252 252 60662 10872 1119 48671 450 450 60764 45144 3788 11832 5347 4276 682 389 17772 16390 689 693 7572 7357 12 203 2336 813 31 1492 25702 20047 3599 2056 33358 26019 4670 2669 Intern Reimbursements 16425 16271 52 102 Indirect Fundraising Ex 12217 12217 Miscellaneous 576 533 26 17 700022 536517 54890 108615 152815 185853 16832 239126 50250 588206 2100 3150 19952 20252 2876889 961075 1904658 1915814 457599 557566 2604206 3509967 17369 10522 29250 28050 46619 38572 X 1054280 1855806 35307 125289 1468000 1490300 2557587 3471395 2604206 3509967 924331 -10523 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 327046 833770 347666 640397 1523262 3672141 131125 133948 98684 99796 127121 590674 45165 53010 46194 49503 54004 247876 503336 1020728 492544 789696 1704387 4510691 6815 31450 28923 141735 192215 401138 31765 23673 25008 1963 82409 38580 31450 52596 166743 194178 483547 4027144 4575 5217 13138 10543 10071 43544 4575 5217 13138 10543 10071 43544 72756 4480 8498 85734 507911 1098701 510162 808737 1714458 4639969 0.86790 0.87710 0.00940 0.01200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X 0 457599 249240 210 149231 252 557566 586239 60702 28094 212500 4936 457599 606610 10098 101688 126290 5867 586239 270847 308820 30097 3154 606610 459525 12818 -17155 180561 3780 270847 0.26650 0.73350 0 0 1557500 1557500 995517 701793 293724 181188 175164 6024 142684 84118 58566 1915814 X 1721642 -10523 16895 90917 97289 1624353 0 1624353 807834 16895 90917 107812 700022 0 700022 Part III, Line 1a: The Center maintains invertebrate and vertebrate collections for Education, Research and Outreach activities.
