Our staff is dedicated to conserving threatened and endangered coastlines and wildlife. OUR AWARD WINNING TEAM IS PASSIONATE, DEDICATED AND DRIVEN TO ACHIEVE HIGH IMPACT RESULTS THAT SAFEGUARD OUR COASTAL AND MARINE HERITAGE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. false false 2715033 1971000 WILDCOAST is an international conservation team that conserves coastal and marine ecosystems and wildlife. Since our founding in 2000, WILDCOAST has helped to conserve 3.2 million acres of coastal, island and marine ecosystems. Additionally we have helped to protect 340 miles of coastline in Mexico through concessions and acquisitions. In California we successfully worked to establish 542,720 acres of marine protected areas. This includes 15,808 acres in San Diego County that we are working with the State of California and other agencies and organizations to manage cooperatively. In 2013 we accomplished the following: In 2013 WILDCOAST continued to successfully fulfill our mission with high impact programs and on-the-ground results. In Southern California this past year we worked with government agencies and everyday citizens in the protection and management of 27.4 square miles of Marine Protected areas in San Diego County, home to leopard sharks, kelp forests, lagoons and rocky reefs. From Encinitas to the Tijuana River Mouth on the U.S-Mexico Border, you will find some of Southern Californias most iconic and important coastal ecosystems. These iconic locations are home to eleven new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) set aside by the State of California for fishery and ecosystem recovery. Since 2012, WILDCOAST has been the lead organization in the County in the implementation of these MPAs through outreach, education, monitoring, and stakeholder collaboration. We have also continued as the lead organization in the conservation and restoration of Southern Californias two most important watersheds, the Tijuana and the Otay River Watersheds. In 2013, WILDCOAST engaged 1,894 community members throughout the County in MPA stewardship activities such as our MPA Watch citizen science program, informational sessions, cleanups and events. We installed informational signage in eight key MPA access points in the county and distributed over 5,000 fishing guides and recreational brochures. WILDCOAST has capacitated 1,214 community members to take conservation into their own hands by helping restore the regions most important watersheds. WILDCOAST and volunteers removed 37,350 pounds of debris from the sites and carried out habitat restoration activities. In Mexico we partnered with fishing communities and coastal residents to establish seven WILDCOAST chapters along the Baja California Peninsula and Oaxaca in order to help them safeguard the coastal and ocean treasures they hold dear. On Bajas pristine central Valle de los Cirios Pacific coastline, we conserved 4,000 acres and two miles of wild coastline. Over the past six years we have preserved a total of 30,134 acres and 33.2 miles of this raw and beautiful coastline. WILDCOAST is working with indigenous communities in the region and Mexicos National Commission Natural Protected Area (CONANP) to improve the sustainable use of local ecosystems and wildlife. Through environmental education, eco-tourism management training, and training in coral reef and wetland management, together we have made tremendous strides in conserving Oaxacas wildlife and coastal and marine ecosystems. In Barra de la Cruz, Morro Ayuta, Rio Seco and Playa Grande, WILDCOAST is working with local communities to shift from sea turtle consumers to sea turtle conservationists. Through our work with dive operators and CONANP staff we are together improving management of the fragile and understudied coral reefs around Huatulco. And after a devastating oil spill in 2012, WILDCOAST is developing an oil spill response team in order to respond more quickly and effectively to future spills. In Cabo Pulmo, WILDCOAST has had significant success conserving the regions rich marine resources. Some of our most significant accomplishments include: The 2012 cancelation of the Cabo Cortes tourism mega-development through a communication campaign that reached 400 million people worldwide. In partnership with CONANP, applied for conservation concessions for 13.6 miles of coastline adjacent to the MPA that are expected to be granted in 2014. Established network chapters in Todos Santos, Cabo San Lucas, San jsoe del Cabo, Los Barriles and Zacatitos. Implement management plans with CONANP for the Cabo Pulmo National Park and the Cabo San Lucas Area of Protected Flora and Fauna. Produce and distribute brochures and other printed materials about ecosystem services associated with Cabo Pulmo. Organize local beach cleanups with community and student volunteers. 2715033 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false true false true false false true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false true 4 0 true 12 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X CLARK LABITAN 6194236037 925 SEACOAST DRIVE IMPERIAL BEACH CA 91932 RANDY HAWLEY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NIKOS ZOGGAS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT BORDEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 IGNACIO NACHO VILCHIS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EDDIE KISFALUDY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALBERTO GARZA SANTOS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL LEE Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES JAKE YOUNG President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 REBECCA KANTER Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SERGE DEDINA Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 92409 0 8768 92409 8768 0 false false false 0 10750 2990284 3001034 0 672 672 0 0 0 0 54961 10750 51511 3450 3450 0 0 OTHER REVENUE 900099 11884 11884 11884 3017040 11884 4122 0 0 1971000 1971000 0 101177 69592 21903 9682 0 454877 354441 51227 49209 0 48226 39213 5155 3858 44262 35849 4468 3945 0 0 16262 5000 9262 2000 0 0 0 0 25551 21276 315 3960 0 0 0 43519 29154 7837 6528 52545 47340 4045 1160 0 0 0 0 16356 16356 15205 9468 4217 1520 OUTSIDE SERVICES 59509 55076 4433 SUPPLIES 36829 25229 5381 6219 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 18839 11838 3972 3029 TELEPHONE 11689 8161 2359 1169 25194 16040 8580 574 2941040 2715033 133154 92853 155188 215205 552423 553095 200000 220998 0 0 0 0 0 5337 6783 164408 120980 46943 43428 0 0 0 0 1186208 1186098 2146099 2225607 53962 57470 53962 57470 X 1337839 1688053 754298 480084 2092137 2168137 2146099 2225607 76000 X false true X true false X 2460045 2243789 2393635 2576202 3001034 12674705 0 0 2460045 2243789 2393635 2576202 3001034 12674705 5294272 7380433 764 73 521 1742 672 3772 0 115 6515 11884 18514 12696991 0.58130 0.60480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 21375 21375 113948 70520 43428 29085 29085 43428 INVESTMENT IN COSTA SALVAJE 1186098 INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARY 1186098 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
