Collaborating with Tufts University, the Lloyd Center completed its 12th 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 in Essex County, 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. In collaboration with the Education staff, the Center's butterfly garden was expanded and renovated as part of the Biodiversity Initiative. The Center continued its collaboration with Martha's Vineyard conservation agencies and produced rare-habitat assessments for a growing number of private landowners. 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 28th year of monitoring and protecting the federally-listed ("threatened") Piping Plovers. Research staff also participated in Biolblitzes in Rhode Island and New York, as well as the Rhode Island East Bay and the Massachusetts Bristol County North American Butterfly Association's 4th of July Butterfly Counts. 232361 65131 Environmental Education: The Lloyd Center continues to provide an increasing number of unique hands-on science programs for schoolchildren and adolescents in over 30 different New England cities and towns, at levels ranging from kindergarten through college. This past year, the Lloyd Center worked with over 45 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), Turn-the-Tide (a program dealing with the ecosystems of local estuaries, taught on the fifth-grade level), and the new 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 participating in Lloyd Center education programs. 154449 8449 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 300 people participated in popular programs, which include canoe tours, kayak trips, nature walks, shore-birding expeditions, seal-watches, whale-watches, midnight "owl-prowls", 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. 516372 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 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 JEFFREY P GONSALVES DIRECTOR/SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MARY D MANDEVILLE PAST DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RANDALL T WEEKS JR ESQ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT A MACGREGOR BOARD CHAIR/DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC BRAITMAYER SECRETARY/VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL J EATOUGH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS E LYNCH JR TREASURER/DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SHARI L MCGUIRE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHRYN C DUFF VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MYRNA W HALL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE P NELSON MD VICE CHAIR/CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD J RHEAUME PE LSP DIRECTOR/TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT PIELECH CPA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MORRIS W KELLOGG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT B LAURANS PAST DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER L MACDONALD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALLY VERDI ROACH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RACHEL L STRONACH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 60.00 X 49880 0 5542 D'ARCY G MACMAHON PAST EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 60.00 X 5925 0 4731 55805 0 10273 0 0 0 0 0 14690 106648 6760 219568 7630 347666 Program Fees 611710 96701 96701 96701 13138 13138 245985 4480 210127 10000 35858 -5520 30338 -5520 35858 46194 106648 84228 -38034 -38034 1983 1855 128 128 449937 91309 0 10962 60541 53882 4238 2421 267486 242042 9594 15850 4403 3305 699 399 55598 40985 10185 4428 19945 15557 2792 1596 9069 9069 18180 18180 5867 5867 33225 14505 172 18548 1773 1773 55038 42752 4739 7547 9322 7474 1176 672 19288 15195 2605 1488 7259 7060 13 186 1131 894 200 37 30649 23907 4291 2451 34554 27025 4791 2738 Bad Debt Expense 24722 24722 Intern Reimbursements 18971 18515 -286 742 Indirect Fundraising Ex 12701 12701 Miscellaneous 1800 1501 191 108 691522 516372 85058 90092 50471 26442 61098 2254 25722 3000 27407 7190 3637 2485 13609 17282 2852686 917925 1975411 1934761 606610 586239 2763965 2579653 8420 28025 51780 36566 60200 64591 X 1186518 1007888 80247 52174 1437000 1455000 2703765 2515062 2763965 2579653 -241585 52882 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1340205 323823 327046 833770 347666 3172510 148990 107502 131125 133948 98684 620249 53460 39750 45165 53010 46194 237579 1542655 471075 503336 1020728 492544 4030338 1066950 6815 31450 28923 1134138 14534 31765 13469 59768 1081484 38580 31450 42392 1193906 2836432 8303 7533 4575 5217 13138 38766 8303 7533 4575 5217 13138 38766 1171 2720 72756 4480 81127 1552129 481328 507911 1098701 510162 4150231 0.68340 0.72090 0.00930 0.00850 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X 0 606610 10098 101688 126290 5867 586239 270847 308820 30097 3154 606610 459525 12818 -17155 180561 3780 270847 590116 25000 73364 223682 5273 459525 490364 3101 153615 51982 4982 590116 0.33140 0.66860 0 0 1557500 1557500 995516 663053 332463 192539 177064 15475 107131 77808 29323 1934761 X 589150 52882 2103 84228 139213 449937 0 449937 777853 2103 84228 86331 691522 0 691522 Part III, Line 1a: The Center maintains certain assets, which are held for public exhibition, education and research in the furtherance of its public service.
