PROGRAM SERVICE STATEMENT FORM 990, PART III: FOR MORE THAN 45 YEARS, MANOMET SCIENTISTS HAVE WORKED WITH A WIDE RANGE OF PARTNERS TO SOLVE COMPLEX NATURAL RESOURCE CHALLENGES. MANOMET IS DEDICATED TO CREATING A MEASURABLY MORE SUSTAINABLE WORLD. MANOMET BELIEVES THAT SOCIETY'S ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES ARE CONNECTED AND MUST BE INTEGRATED IF HUMANS ARE TO LIVE SUSTAINABLY ON A PLANET WITH FINITE RESOURCES. MANOMET USES SCIENCE TO HELP COMMUNITIES, BUSINESSES, AND GOVERNMENT MEASURABLY IMPROVE THEIR PRACTICES AND SUSTAINABILITY. MANOMET'S APPROACH IS TO WORK SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND BUSINESSES TO MAKE IT PRACTICAL AND SIMPLE FOR THEM TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE. MANOMET'S PROGRAMS PURSUE FOUR GOALS: 1. TO RESTORE AND MAINTAIN SHOREBIRD POPULATIONS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. 2. TO PREPARE NORTH AMERICAN LANDSCAPES FOR CLIMATE CHANGE. 3. TO HELP CREATE AN ECONOMY BASED ON SUSTAINABILITY. 4. TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO NATURE. MANOMET HAS APPROXIMATELY 40 SCIENTISTS AND SUPPORT STAFF WORKING FROM THE NORTH SLOPE OF ALASKA TO THE SOUTHERN TIP OF ARGENTINA. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN FY 2013: 1. CONDUCTED SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENTS OF SUPERMARKET LOCATIONS ACROSS NEW YORK, VERMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE, MASSACHUSETTS AND MAINE TO IMPLEMENT OUR GROCERY STEWARDSHIP CERTIFICATION PROGRAM. 2. TESTED THE NEWEST ITERATION OF THE VITAL CAPITAL INDEX FOR DAIRY AGRICULTURE (VCI) WITH FARMERS FROM THE AGRI-MARK SUSTAINABLE FARMS COMMITTEE. THE VCI IS A TOOL THAT HELPS DAIRY FARMERS MEASURE THEIR SUSTAINABILITY AND MANAGE THEIR FARMS THROUGH CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. 3. OUR CLEAR WATER CARBON FUND PLANTED APPROXIMATELY 1,000 TREES ALONG DEFORESTED WATERWAYS IN MAINE AND VERMONT. 4. THE CLEAR WATER CARBON FUND ALSO PARTNERED WITH ATHLETIC EVENTS INCLUDING VERMONT'S MAD MARATHON AND CIRCUMBURKE CHALLENGE, THE JAY PEAK SKI RESORT, AND THE HOLMES FARM AT MANOMET, TO GIVE PEOPLE THE OPTION TO OFFSET THEIR CARBON EMISSIONS AND PROTECT LOCAL WATER QUALITY BY CONTRIBUTING TO THE FUND. 5. WITH THE U.S.D.A., U.S. FOREST SERVICE AND OTHER PARTNERS, RELEASED THE FORGATE TOOL - A FOREST SECTOR GREENHOUSE GAS ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR MAINE. THE TOOL HELPS FOREST MANAGERS AND POLICY MAKERS EXAMINE THE RELATIVE MERIT OF CARBON OFFSET PROJECTS AND FOREST SECTOR LIFE CYCLE GREENHOUSE GAS ACCOUNTING. 6. COMPLETED AND RELEASED A CLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS OF 442 PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES IN MAINE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A VARIETY OF STATE AGENCIES AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE ANALYSIS INCLUDED INPUT FROM 81 EXPERTS FROM NEW ENGLAND AND CANADA. THE COMPLETED REPORT IS THE MOST EXTENSIVE SPECIES ASSESSMENT IN ANY STATE TO DATE. 7. HELD STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS FOR THE SAGADAHOC COUNTY (ME) URBAN AND COMMUNITY FOREST PROJECT TO REFINE BEST PRACTICES FOR IMPROVING THE CLIMATE CHANGE RESILIENCY OF URBAN FORESTS AND COMMUNITIES. 8. PLANNED FOR A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS WITH TIMBER COMPANIES AND FORESTRY GROUPS PARTICIPATING IN THE PILOT OF THE CLIMATE SMART LAND NETWORK, A PROGRAM TO ASSIST LANDOWNERS IN MANAGING THEIR LANDS FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE AND COST SAVINGS. 9. FURTHER DEVELOPED OUR SMALL BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY BENCHMARKING TOOL, TO BE PILOTED WITH SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTERS AND WOMEN'S BUSINESS CENTERS AND THEIR SMALL BUSINESS CLIENTS. 10. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL FISH AND WILDLIFE FOUNDATION, MANOMET SCIENTISTS COORDINATED A REGIONAL ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF HURRICANE SANDY ON COASTAL SHOREBIRD, WATERBIRD, AND WATERFOWL POPULATIONS AND THEIR HABITATS AND FOOD RESOURCES. THE REPORT IDENTIFIED CLOSE TO $50 MILLION OF PROJECTS NEEDED TO HELP IMPACTED BIRD POPULATIONS AND HABITATS. 11. COORDINATED 17 ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNERS FOR THE ARCTIC SHOREBIRD DEMOGRAPHICS NETWORK'S 2013 FIELD SEASON. NETWORK RESEARCHERS PLACED 192 GEOLOCATORS ON SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS AT EIGHT FIELD SITES IN 2013. IF RECOVERED, THE GEOLOCATORS WILL PROVIDE A WEALTH OF INFORMATION ON THE BIRDS' MIGRATORY ROUTES AND WINTERING SITES. 12. LED WORKSHOPS FOR STATE AND FEDERAL LAND MANAGERS AND WILDLIFE PROFESSIONALS IN SEVERAL STATES, TEACHING BEST PRACTICES TO MANAGE LAND TO BENEFIT SHOREBIRDS WITHOUT DETRACTING FROM OTHER USES OR MISSIONS. 13. WITH A COALITION OF SCIENCE AND CONSERVATION PARTNERS, RELEASED PHASE ONE OF THE ATLANTIC FLYWAY SHOREBIRD CONSERVATION BUSINESS STRATEGY, AN UNPRECEDENTED COLLABORATION TO IMPLEMENT CONSERVATION FOR SHOREBIRDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE EAST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA. 14. LED MORE THAN 30 ORGANIZATIONS IN A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO MONITOR AND CONSERVE AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHER (AN IMPERILED SHOREBIRD SPECIES) POPULATIONS ON THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. 15. COMPLETED AND RELEASED A SERIES OF CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLANS FOR EIGHT LANDOWNER AND LANDSCAPE-SCALE SITES IN MAINE AND MASSACHUSETTS. SECTOR-SPECIFIC ADAPTATION PLANNING FACT SHEETS WERE ALSO DEVELOPED FOR RESIDENTIAL, AGRICULTURAL, FORESTRY, AND CONSERVATION LANDS. 16. CONDUCTED SUCCESSFUL MIGRATORY BIRD BANDING SEASONS WITH 2,303 BIRDS OF 78 SPECIES HANDLED IN SPRING AND 3,546 BIRDS OF 79 SPECIES HANDLED IN FALL. 17. WELCOMED MORE THAN 1,000 VISITORS TO THE EDUCATION PROGRAM AT OUR LANDBIRD BANDING LABORATORY. PARTICIPANTS INCLUDED SCHOOL GROUPS (1ST GRADE TO UNIVERSITY CLASSES), PHOTOGRAPHY AND BIRDING CLUBS, AND MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. 18. WITH PARTNERS, EXPANDED THE CLIMATE LAB PROGRAM, WHICH TEACHES MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE EDUCATORS HOW THEIR STUDENTS CAN COLLECT DATA ON BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. PLANNED A TRAINING SESSION FOR TEACHERS FROM THREE MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL DISTRICTS. 19. WORKED WITH PARTNERS TO EXPAND THE DOWNEAST FISHERIES PARTNERSHIP, A LARGE-SCALE, COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO TACKLE THE COMPLEX PROBLEM OF RESTORING THE FISHERIES OF DOWNEAST MAINE. RESTORING SHOREBIRD POPULATIONS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 9 MILLION SPECIES ON EARTH TODAY. AS A RESULT OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES, THE CURRENT RATE OF SPECIES EXTINCTION IS ESTIMATED TO BE 100 TO 1,000 TIMES GREATER THAN BASELINE EXTINCTION RATES. SHOREBIRDS REPRESENT A GROUP OF SPECIES DISPROPORTIONATELY AT RISK BECAUSE THEIR HEMISPHERIC MIGRATIONS OFTEN RELY ON VERY SPECIFIC HABITATS AND FOOD SOURCES. MANY SPECIES USE PRECISE STOPOVER SITES THAT ARE ALSO USED INTENSIVELY BY HUMANS. AS A RESULT, SOME SHOREBIRDS ARE DISPLAYING THE MOST DRAMATIC DECLINES OF ANY SPECIES GROUP. FOR EXAMPLE, THE RED KNOT HAS DECLINED BY 80 PERCENT IN THE LAST TWO DECADES. NO SINGLE ORGANIZATION CAN SOLVE THIS COMPLEX HEMISPHERIC PROBLEM. MANOMET COORDINATES DIVERSE COALITIONS OF PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA WHO HAVE A PIECE OF THE SOLUTION. CREATING A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY WE ARE ALL PART OF AN ECONOMY THAT RELIES ON EARTH'S RESOURCES. AS THE GLOBAL POPULATION GROWS AND BECOMES MORE AFFLUENT, WE WILL HAVE TO USE FINITE RESOURCES MORE PRUDENTLY AND SUSTAINABLY. TO MANAGE FOR SUSTAINABILITY WE NEED PRACTICAL AND MEANINGFUL WAYS TO MEASURE SUSTAINABILITY. WE CAN'T MANAGE IT IF WE AREN'T MEASURING IT. WE NEED COST-EFFECTIVE MECHANISMS FOR BUSINESSES TO BECOME MORE SUSTAINABLE. AT MANOMET, WE DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO HELP BUSINESSES BECOME MEASURABLY AND VERIFIABLY MORE SUSTAINABLE. AND, WE MAKE IT EASY. PREPARING AMERICA FOR CLIMATE CHANGE THERE IS SIGNIFICANT POLITICAL AND CULTURAL DISAGREEMENT ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. HOWEVER, MANOMET HAS EVALUATED THE SCIENCE AND DETERMINED THAT MANY OF OUR COMMON VALUES, SUCH AS CLEAN WATER AND FOOD SUPPLY, ARE AT RISK TO A WARMER AND MORE UNPREDICTABLE CLIMATE. FARMERS, FORESTERS AND FISHERMEN ARE ALREADY REPORTING IMPACTS TO THEIR RESOURCES AND LIVELIHOODS. MANOMET IS INVESTING ITS SKILLS TO PREPARE AMERICA FOR A NEW CLIMATE FUTURE. CONNECTING HUMANS TO NATURE OUR SOCIETY IS LOSING ITS CONNECTION TO NATURE. A 2010 REPORT FROM THE KAISER FAMILY FOUNDATION FOUND THAT ON AVERAGE CHILDREN SPEND NINE AND A HALF HOURS EACH DAY USING ELECTRONIC DEVICES LIKE VIDEO GAMES, SMART PHONES AND TELEVISIONS. WITH THAT DETACHMENT COMES LESS UNDERSTANDING OF NATURE'S VITAL ROLE IN THEIR LIVES. RECONNECTING OUR SOCIETY TO NATURE IS TOO BIG A TASK FOR ANY ONE ORGANIZATION. MANOMET WORKS WITH SCHOOLS AND OTHER RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURE AS THEY BECOME THE NEXT GENERATION OF DECISION-MAKERS.
