| Description | SEE SCHEDULE O:RESEARCHMOTE MARINE LABORATORY IS AN INDEPENDENT, NONPROFIT 501(C)3 RESEARCH ORGANIZATION ESTABLISHED IN 1955. MOTE'S MISSION IS TO ADVANCE MARINE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE THROUGH RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND PUBLIC OUTREACH LEADING TO NEW DISCOVERIES, REVITALIZATION AND SUSTAINABILITY OF EARTH'S OCEAN RESOURCES AND TO A GREATER PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF OUR MARINE ECOSYSTEMS.MOTE IS FIRST AND FOREMOST A GLOBAL LEADER IN DIVERSE FIELDS OF MARINE RESEARCH RELEVANT TO CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF MARINE BIODIVERSITY, HEALTHY HABITATS AND NATURAL RESOURCES.MOTE IS ALSO UNIQUE AS ONE OF THE FEW INDEPENDENT SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WORLD THAT COMBINES MARINE RESEARCH WITH PUBLIC OUTREACH FEATURING A MAJOR AQUARIUM. OUR VISION INCLUDES POSITIVELY IMPACTING PUBLIC POLICY BY BUILDING AN OCEAN-LITERATE PUBLIC. (VIEW MOTE'S 2020 VISION & STRATEGIC PLAN AT WWW.MOTE.ORG/ABOUTUS.)IN THE BEGINNING, MOTE'S EARLY STUDIES FOCUSED MAINLY ON SHARKS AND UNDERSTANDING THEIR BASIC BIOLOGY. THOSE EARLY RESEARCH FINDINGS LED THE WAY FOR THOUSANDS OF STUDIES THAT TODAY PROVIDE VITAL INFORMATION FOR RESOURCE MANAGERS AND THE PUBLIC.OVER MORE THAN FIVE DECADES, MOTE HAS GROWN FROM A TINY SHED IN PLACIDA WHERE THE LEGENDARY SCIENTIST DR. EUGENIE CLARK BEGAN THE OPERATION, TO A 10.5-ACRE CAMPUS ON SARASOTA BAY IN SARASOTA, FL, WITH FIELD STATIONS IN SUMMERLAND KEY IN THE FLORIDA KEYS AND PINE ISLAND IN CHARLOTTE HARBOR, A 200-ACRE STATE-OF-THE-ART MOTE AQUACULTURE PARK IN EASTERN SARASOTA COUNTY, PUBLIC OUTREACH EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN PUNTA GORDA AND BOCA GRANDE AND A PUBLIC CORAL REEF EXHIBIT IN KEY WEST. TODAY, MOTE HAS A STAFF OF MORE THAN 190 WITH MORE THAN 30 DOCTORAL-LEVEL SCIENTISTS AND 1,600 VOLUNTEERS.MOTE STUDIES INCLUDE A WIDE RANGE OF SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES. RESEARCH PROGRAMS INCLUDE STUDIES OF HUMAN CANCER USING MARINE MODELS AND THE EFFECTS OF MAN-MADE AND NATURAL TOXINS ON HUMANS AND ON THE ENVIRONMENT. MOTE STUDIES THE HEALTH OF WILD FISHERIES, DEVELOPS SUSTAINABLE AND SUCCESSFUL FISH RESTOCKING TECHNIQUES AND FOOD PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES AND ENGINEERS NEW TOOLS TO HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH OF THE ENVIRONMENT. MOTE RESEARCH PROGRAMS ALSO FOCUS ON UNDERSTANDING THE POPULATION DYNAMICS OF MANATEES, DOLPHINS, SEA TURTLES, SHARKS AND CORAL REEFS AND ON CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION EFFORTS RELATED TO THESE SPECIES AND ECOSYSTEMS. (FOR A FULL AND CURRENT LISTING OF MOTE MARINE LABORATORY'S RESEARCH PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES, PLEASE VISIT WWW.MOTE.ORG/SCIENCE.)IN 2012, MOTE'S RESEARCHERS BROUGHT IN MORE THAN $9 MILLION IN GRANTS, CONTRACTS AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS ON A WIDE RANGE OF STUDIES CRITICAL TO THE REGION'S ENVIRONMENT AND ALSO SUPPORTING SOUTHWEST FLORIDA'S ECONOMY. OUR EFFORTS RESULTED IN 85 PUBLICATIONS IN PEER-REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL ARTICLES AND IN POPULAR MEDIA, AS WELL AS NEW BOOKS AND BOOK CHAPTERS. MOTE SCIENTISTS ALSO EXPANDED THEIR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH RESEARCHERS IN JAPAN, ISRAEL AND OTHER NATIONS AND DEVELOPED NEW VITAL PARTNERSHIPS IN OUR OWN COMMUNITY.HERE ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2012:MOTE FEATURED IN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON THE GULF OF MEXICOMOTE'S 57-YEAR HISTORY OF MARINE SCIENCE AND EDUCATION WAS FEATURED DURING JANUARY IN A SPECIAL ISSUE OF AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ABOUT GULF OF MEXICO RESEARCH. MOTE'S UNIQUE STORY - FROM ITS FOUNDING BY FAMOUS "SHARK LADY" DR. EUGENIE CLARK IN 1955 TO ITS WORLD-CLASS MARINE RESEARCH TODAY - IS NOW PUBLISHED IN GULF OF MEXICO SCIENCE, A PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL DEDICATED TO DISSEMINATING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE GULF AND SURROUNDING AREAS. THE JOURNAL IS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE U.S. AND AS FAR AWAY AS AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.MOTE HOSTS U.S.-ISRAELI SCIENTIFIC LEADERS SCIENTIFIC LEADERS FROM ISRAEL AND THE U.S. - MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES-ISRAEL BINATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION'S BOARD OF GOVERNORS - MET TO ADVANCE RESEARCH BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS IN FEBRUARY AT MOTE. BSF IS AN INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION FOUNDED IN 1972 THAT SUPPORTS LEADING RESEARCH PROJECTS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND ISRAEL. MOTE, WHICH HAS A LONG HISTORY OF RESEARCH IN ISRAEL BEGINNING WITH DR. EUGENIE CLARK, REINVIGORATED ITS EFFORTS IN THE REGION IN 2011 WITH THE CREATION OF ITS OWN MOTE-ISRAEL COOPERATIVE MARINE RESEARCH PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM (WHICH IS INDEPENDENT FROM BSF) IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT RESEARCH INITIATIVES THAT BENEFIT THE ENVIRONMENTS OF BOTH NATIONS, FUND TRAVEL BETWEEN U.S. AND ISRAEL FOR RESEARCHERS AND SUPPORT POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH SCIENTISTS.STUDY FINDS MANATEE HEARING GOOD DESPITE BACKGROUND NOISEA NEW STUDY ON MANATEE HEARING BY MOTE AND COLLABORATORS SHOWED THAT THESE MARINE MAMMALS CAN SENSE A WIDE RANGE OF PITCHES DESPITE LOUD BACKGROUND NOISE. THE STUDY, PUBLISHED IN THE PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY, DEMONSTRATES THAT MANATEES CAN HEAR FREQUENCIES PRODUCED BY BOAT ENGINES, POINTING TO NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW MANATEE HEARING OPERATES IN THE WILD AND WHY THESE MAMMALS REMAIN VULNERABLE TO WATERCRAFT.LARGEST REEF RESTORATION PROJECT PROGRESSES IN FLORIDA AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDSSCIENTISTS TRANSPLANTED NURSERY-GROWN STAGHORN AND ELKHORN CORALS TO DEGRADED REEFS IN FLORIDA AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WITH THE GOAL OF TRANSPLANTING UP TO 10,000 OF THE CORALS AS PART OF THE LARGEST MARINE RESTORATION PROJECT OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR PARTNERS AT NUMEROUS ORGANIZATIONS. EXPERTS HOPE THAT THE TRANSPLANTED YOUNG CORALS WILL THRIVE AND REPRODUCE, HELPING TO RECOVER POPULATIONS OF THESE TWO THREATENED SPECIES. MOTE IS A KEY PARTNER IN THE NATURE CONSERVANCY-LED PROJECT CONDUCTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FLORIDA KEYS NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY AND OTHERS AND HAS BEEN GROWING CORALS IN AN UNDERWATER NURSERY IN THE LOWER KEYS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IN THIS PROJECT, THEY PLANTED 600 CORAL FRAGMENTS REPRESENTING 10 DIFFERENT GENOTYPES AT FOUR DIFFERENT REEF SITES DURING APRIL AND MAY 2012. STUDIES SIX MONTHS LATER SHOWED THAT 91 PERCENT OF THE FRAGMENTS SURVIVED AND, ON AVERAGE, GREW FROM ABOUT 6 INCHES AT TIME OF PLANTING TO 14 INCHES. MOTE SCIENTISTS FOUND NO SIGNS OF SIGNIFICANT DISEASE OR BLEACHING AND ONLY MINIMAL BREAKAGE AND DAMAGE FROM MARINE PREDATORS."LAZY" SHARK MIGHT REALLY TRAVEL FARA NOTORIOUSLY "LAZY" SHARK MIGHT SECRETLY BE A GREAT OCEAN VOYAGER, ACCORDING TO A STUDY RELEASED IN JUNE BY SCIENTISTS FROM MOTE, THE HAWAI'I INSTITUTE OF MARINE BIOLOGY AND JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY IN AUSTRALIA. THE STUDY, FEATURED ON THE COVER OF THE PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL OF BIOGEOGRAPHY, ENDED NEARLY A DECADE OF RESEARCH USING DNA TO STUDY THE DISTRIBUTION OF WHITETIP REEF SHARKS (TRIAENODON OBESUS). THIS SPECIES HAS PUZZLED SCIENTISTS BECAUSE IT SPENDS A LOT OF TIME RESTING ON THE BOTTOM AND SEEMS TO TRAVEL VERY LITTLE, BUT IT IS FOUND THROUGHOUT THE TROPICAL PACIFIC AND INDIAN OCEAN A WIDER RANGE THAN MANY SHARKS THAT SWIM LONG DISTANCES. WHITETIP REEF SHARKS ARE CONSIDERED "NEAR THREATENED" BY THE INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE AND ARE CAUGHT AS BYCATCH BY LINE AND TRAWL IN SEVERAL FISHERIES, BUT NO MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THEM EXISTS THROUGHOUT MOST OF THEIR RANGE. LEARNING HOW POPULATIONS MIX AND SPREAD COULD HELP REVEAL WHAT THREATS THEY FACE AND PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE TO SUPPORT CONSERVATION.NEW REPORT CALLS FOR NEW PROTECTIONS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO"BEYOND THE HORIZON", A TWO-DAY WORKSHOP OF SCIENTISTS AND STAKEHOLDERS CONVENED AT MOTE IN 2011, RESULTED IN A NEW VISION STATEMENT FOR THE GULF OF MEXICO THAT STAKEHOLDERS HOPE WILL HELP BUILD CONSENSUS FOR NEW PROTECTED AREAS IN ONE OF THE NATION'S MOST IMPORTANT BODIES OF WATER. THE REPORT - CALLED BEYOND THE HORIZON: A VISION FOR THE GULF OF MEXICO ON THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEEPWATER HORIZON OIL SPILL, ALONG WITH THE PROCEEDINGS FROM THE TWO-DAY WORKSHOP - WERE RELEASED BY ORGANIZERS DURING CAPITOL HILL OCEAN WEEK, WHICH EXAMINES THE ROLE OF THE OCEAN IN THE SHAPING OF OUR NATION. GENETIC GIFT FROM BACTERIA MIGHT BE HELPING CORAL REEFSCORAL REEFS MIGHT BE GETTING A MAJOR BOOST FROM BACTERIA THAT SHARE GOOD GENES, REPORTED RESEARCHERS WHO FOUND THE FIRST EVIDENCE THAT GENETIC PACKETS FROM THESE BACTERIA HELP PAVE THE WAY FOR "BABY" CORALS TO GROW. THE STUDY, PRESENTED DURING THE "12TH INTERNATIONAL CORAL REEF SYMPOSIUM" IN CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, IS A KEY ADVANCE IN UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESSES UNDERLYING CORAL REEF GROWTH AND HEALTH. REEFS DEPEND ON INTRICATE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CORALS AND MANY MARINE MICROSCOPIC LIFE FORMS, INCLUDING THE SYMBIOTIC ALGAE WITHIN CORAL TISSUES AND BENEFICIAL BACTERIA LIVING ON AND NEAR THE REEF. MOST OF THESE RELATIONSHIPS ARE STILL BEING DESCRIBED BY RESEARCHERS. | Description |

| Description | SEE SCHEDULE O:AQUARIUMTHE AQUARIUM AT MOTE MARINE LABORATORY IS THE MAIN VENUE THROUGH WHICH MOTE MARINE LABORATORY COMMUNICATES ITS CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH FINDINGS. LOCATED ON MOTE MARINE LABORATORY'S MAIN CAMPUS IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA, THE AQUARIUM HAS PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN MOTE'S OUTREACH EFFORTS SINCE 1980 BY PRESENTING EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS THAT REFLECT ONGOING RESEARCH IN THE LABORATORY AND THAT STIMULATE CURIOSITY, DISCOVERY, EXPLORATION AND STEWARDSHIP OF AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS.IN 2012, 352,270 GUESTS VISITED THE AQUARIUM, WITH OUR TRAVELING EXHIBIT (MOTE MOBILE) REACHING MORE THAN 260,000 PEOPLE THROUGHOUT FLORIDA.MOTE AQUARIUM DISPLAYS MORE THAN 100 MARINE SPECIES, INCLUDING SHARKS, FISH OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES, MOLLUSKS, CRUSTACEANS AND MORE. AQUARIUM EXHIBITS RANGE FROM SMALL DISPLAYS TO LARGE EXHIBITS SUCH AS OUR 135,000-GALLON SHARK HABITAT. TOUCH POOLS ALLOW VISITORS TO SAFELY TOUCH SEA URCHINS, HORSESHOE CRABS, HERMIT CRABS, STINGRAYS AND OTHER SPECIES. GUESTS CAN ENJOY EDUCATIONAL AND INTERACTIVE EXHIBITS ENRICHED BY TRAINED VOLUNTEER DOCENTS THROUGHOUT THE AQUARIUM WHO ASSIST VISITORS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS INCLUDE NARRATED TRAINING SESSIONS WITH MOTE'S LARGE SHARKS, SEA TURTLES AND MANATEES AND A SEAHORSE CONSERVATION LABORATORY THAT BREEDS AND RAISES SEAHORSES THAT ARE DISPLAYED AT MOTE AND TOP ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS NATIONWIDE. MOTE'S ANN AND ALFRED GOLDSTEIN MARINE MAMMAL RESEARCH AND REHABILITATION CENTER ALLOWS VISITORS TO SEE RESIDENT MANATEES, SEA TURTLES AND DOLPHINS THAT CANNOT BE RETURNED TO THE WILD. THESE NON-RELEASABLE ANIMALS ACT AS AMBASSADORS FOR THEIR SPECIES AND HELP US TEACH THE PUBLIC ABOUT OUR ONGOING RESEARCH PROGRAMS WITH DOLPHINS, SEA TURTLES AND MANATEES IN THE WILD. THESE RESIDENT ANIMALS ALSO PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH PROGRAMS HERE AT THE AQUARIUM THAT ALLOW US TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THESE SPECIES IN WAYS THAT ARE NOT POSSIBLE IN THE WILD. IN THIS FASHION, THE AQUARIUM STAFF ARE CREATING A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEARNING ABILITIES AND BIOLOGY OF THESE SPECIES, INCLUDING HOW WELL THEY HEAR AND SEE, AND HOW THEY USE VARIOUS SENSES - INCLUDING TOUCH - TO NAVIGATE THEIR ENVIRONMENT. BEHIND THE SCENES, MOTE ALSO CARES FOR STRANDED, SICK OR INJURED DOLPHINS, WHALES AND SEA TURTLES WITH THE GOAL OF RETURNING THEM TO THE WILD. MOTE'S ANIMAL CARE STAFF SEEKS TO EXPAND KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIC BIOLOGY, VETERINARY CARE AND DISEASE PROCESSES OF THESE ANIMALS. WHEN ANIMALS ARE SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED, EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO DO FOLLOW-UP MONITORING OF THE SHORT- AND LONG-TERM MOVEMENTS OF THESE ANIMALS. THE DOLPHIN AND WHALE HOSPITAL AT MOTE HAS BEEN REHABILITATING DOLPHINS AND WHALES AT OUR SARASOTA, FLA.-BASED FACILITIES SINCE 1984. AT MOTE, OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THE MOST HUMANE TREATMENT POSSIBLE FOR LIVE-STRANDED DOLPHINS AND WHALES, WHILE ALSO CREATING A BETTER SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF THESE ANIMALS AND THEIR NEEDS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT CONSERVATION OF THESE SPECIES IN THE WILD. IN 2011, "M*A*S*H" STAR AND ANIMAL ADVOCATE LORETTA SWIT, FAMED FOR HER ROLE AS MAJOR MARGARET HOULIHAN OF "M*A*S*H", WAS DRAWN TO MOTE AFTER LEARNING THAT WE WERE TREATING A STRANDED DOLPHIN NAMED EDNA.THE DOLPHIN, WHICH HAD STRANDED ON A LONGBOAT KEY BEACH, WAS TREATED FOR TWO MONTHS IN MOTE'S DOLPHIN AND WHALE HOSPITAL AND RELEASED JUST OFFSHORE.MOTE ALSO TREATED A TINY SEA TURTLE PATIENT NICKNAMED "STANLEY." THE TURTLE, WEIGHING IN AT JUST UNDER 5 OUNCES WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE SEA TURTLE REHABILITATION HOSPITAL, CAME TO MOTE AFTER BEING RESCUED FROM A CANAL IN MARCO ISLAND. STANLEY'S CASE WAS UNUSUAL: LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES AT THIS STAGE OF LIFE WOULD NORMALLY BE FOUND FAR OFFSHORE IN CLUMPS OF SEAWEED CALLED SARGASSUM. HOW STANLEY REMAINED BEHIND IS UNKNOWN. AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF TREATMENT, STANLEY WAS READY FOR RELEASE TO THE WILD.OVER THE YEARS, MOTE HAS TREATED 70 DOLPHINS AND SMALL WHALES AND SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED 21; WE HAVE TREATED 430 SEA TURTLES AND SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED 239. | Description |

| Description | PROTECT OUR REEFSFLORIDA HAS THE ONLY BARRIER CORAL REEF SYSTEM IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S. IT'S LIKE HAVING THE GRAND CANYON UNDERWATER - A NATURAL TREASURE THAT TOOK MILLIONS OF YEARS TO CREATE AND DESERVES OUR PROTECTION. SADLY, CORALS ARE IN DECLINE WORLDWIDE. RESEARCH IS HELPING TO UNDERSTAND WHY AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. EDUCATION AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS CAN HELP REDUCE HUMAN IMPACT ON THESE PRECIOUS RESOURCES. TO HELP SUPPORT MARINE RESEARCH, CONSERVATION AND EDUCATION EFFORTS DESIGNED AT SAVING FLORIDA'S REEF, MOTE MARINE LABORATORY SPONSORED THE CREATION OF THE PROTECT OUR REEFS SPECIALTY LICENSE PLATE IN FLORIDA. THE PLATE WAS APPROVED BY THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE IN JULY 2003.A PORTION OF THE SALES OF THIS LICENSE TAG ($25 PER PLATE) SUPPORT MYRIAD RESEARCH STUDIES AT MOTE AND OTHER FLORIDA-BASED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. 37.5% OF REVENUES ARE AWARDED IN GRANTS ANNUALLY AND AN ADDITIONAL 37.5% OF REVENUES SUPPORTS MOTE'S CENTER FOR CORAL REEF RESEARCH. THESE STUDIES HELP SCIENTISTS AND RESOURCE MANAGERS GAIN A MORE COMPREHENSIVE PICTURE OF WHY CORALS ARE IN DECLINE AND THE FACTORS THAT KEEP CORAL HEALTHY. THE OUTREACH PROGRAMS HELP FLORIDA RESIDENTS AND TOURISTS BETTER UNDERSTAND CORAL ECOSYSTEMS AND HOW HUMAN ACTIVITY AFFECTS THEM AND HOW THEY CAN PROACTIVELY ASSIST IN PROTECTING AND RESTORING CORAL REEFS.SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2004, THE LICENSE PLATE HAS RAISED MORE THAN $6.4 MILLION, WITH A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THOSE PROCEEDS AVAILABLE TO FLORIDA-BASED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT PERFORM RESEARCH, EDUCATION (AND OUTREACH) AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS THAT DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE PRESERVATION OF FLORIDA'S CORAL REEFS.IN 2012, FUNDS FROM THE PROGRAM HELPED SUPPORT AN EFFORT TO TRANSPLANT NURSERY-GROWN STAGHORN AND ELKHORN CORALS TO DEGRADED REEFS IN FLORIDA. THIS WAS PART OF A WIDER RESTORATION EFFORT THAT INCLUDED PLANTINGS ON REEFS IN THE U.S.VIRGIN ISLANDS AS PART OF THE LARGEST MARINE RESTORATION PROJECT OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD. EXPERTS HOPE THAT THE TRANSPLANTED YOUNG CORALS WILL THRIVE AND REPRODUCE, HELPING TO RECOVER POPULATIONS OF THESE TWO THREATENED SPECIES.FLORIDA DRIVERS WHO PURCHASE THE STATE'S PROTECT OUR REEFS SPECIALTY LICENSE PLATE ARE SUPPORTING PROGRAMS LIKE THIS THAT HELP US ATTACK CORAL REEF PROBLEMS ON A NUMBER OF FRONTS. IN 2012, THE PROTECT OUR REEFS GRANTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE ANNOUNCED 15 AWARDS TOTALING $276,500 FOR CORAL REEF RESEARCH, CONSERVATION AND EDUCATION PROJECTS. AQUACULTURE PARKMOTE AQUACULTURE PARK FACILITY OPERATIONSMOTE HAS 200 ACRES THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED INTO A STATE-OF-THE-ART AQUACULTURE FACILITY SUPPORTING THE CONSERVATION OF THE WORLD'S FISHERY STOCKS AND THE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION OF SEAFOOD. THE PARK INCLUDES MORE THAN 125,000 SQUARE FEET OF FACILITIES UNDER ROOF WHERE MOTE'S COMMERCIAL STURGEON DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM AND ITS MARINE AND FRESHWATER AQUACULTURE RESEARCH PROGRAM ARE HOUSED. EFFORTS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE AT THE FACILITY INCLUDE THE STUDY OF THE GROWTH OF SALTWATER SPECIES FOR RESTOCKING PROGRAMS - PARTICULARLY COMMON SNOOK, POMPANO, COBIA AND OTHER SPECIES - AND THE GROWTH OF FRESHWATER SIBERIAN STURGEON FOR MEAT AND CAVIAR PRODUCTION. IN 2006, MOTE BECAME THE FIRST ORGANIZATION IN FLORIDA TO PRODUCE CAVIAR - DEMONSTRATING THAT LARGE-SCALE AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION THAT RELIES ON WATER RECIRCULATING TECHNOLOGIES WAS FEASIBLE IN THE STATE.THE AQUACULTURE PARK TESTS EVERYTHING FROM WATER RE-USE TECHNOLOGIES TO VARIOUS WAYS TO INCORPORATE NEW SPECIES INTO ITS PRODUCTION PROCESS. RESEARCH IS BEING UNDERTAKEN TO USE FISH WASTE AND FRESH WATER WASTEWATER IN THE PRODUCTION OF PLANT SPECIES FOR LATER USE IN WETLAND AND COASTAL RESTORATION PROGRAMS.MEMBERSHIP IN 2012 MOTE MARINE LABORATORY AND AQUARIUM WAS FORTUNATE TO CONTINUE AND STRENGTHEN OUR 11,000 PLUS (HOUSEHOLDS) MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM.

| PROGRAM SERVICE STATEMENT | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | MOTE SCIENTIST TO CO-CHAIR NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON HARMFUL ALGAE THE NATIONAL HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM COMMITTEE (NHC) ELECTED DR. BARBARA KIRKPATRICK - A LEADER IN RESEARCH ON FLORIDA RED TIDE AND HUMAN HEALTH AT MOTE MARINE LABORATORY - AS CO-CHAIR. THE NHC BRINGS TOGETHER THOSE FROM RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, COMMUNITIES AND OTHER GROUPS TO FOCUS ON HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS WHILE RAISING NATIONAL-LEVEL AWARENESS OF BLOOM-RELATED ISSUES. NHC COORDINATES THE U.S. NATIONAL PROGRAM ON HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS, HARMFUL ALGAL RESEARCH AND RESPONSE: A NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE STRATEGY. MOTE STUDY SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON SEA TURTLE HEARING LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES HAVE LOW-FREQUENCY HEARING THAT MIGHT DETECT UNDERWATER NOISE FROM HUMAN ACTIVITIES, REPORTED MOTE SCIENTISTS IN THE FIRST PUBLISHED STUDY OF A BEHAVIORAL HEARING TEST FOR SEA TURTLES. THE STUDY WAS PUBLISHED IN AUGUST AND AWARDED "EDITORS CHOICE" BY THE JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY. UNTIL THIS STUDY, THE FEW HEARING STUDIES WITH SEA TURTLES RELIED UPON A TEST CALLED "AUDITORY-EVOKED POTENTIAL" OR AEP, WHICH USES SENSORS TO MEASURE THE BRAIN'S RESPONSE TO SOUNDS - A PROCESS SIMILAR TO HEARING TESTS FOR HUMAN INFANTS. PUBLISHED RESEARCH USING AEP HAS SUGGESTED THAT THREE SPECIES OF SEA TURTLES HEAR A LIMITED RANGE OF LOW FREQUENCIES, BUT MORE RESEARCH WAS NEEDED TO VERIFY THAT AEP RESULTS - AN INDIRECT MEASURE OF HEARING ABILITY - WERE ACCURATE. SEA TURTLE TAGGING IN 2012 MOTE'S SEA TURTLE CONSERVATION AND RESEARCH PROGRAM TAGGED 321 LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES NESTING ON LOCAL BEACHES WITH FLIPPER TAGS AND MICROCHIPS FOR IDENTIFICATION. OF THESE, 57 HAD BEEN TAGGED AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE AND SEVEN TURTLES FROM CASEY KEY WERE FITTED WITH SATELLITE TAGS TO TRACK THEIR MIGRATIONS AT SEA. NEW SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM, NEW SUSTAINABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE NEW SOLAR-ENERGY SYSTEMS WERE INSTALLED AT MOTE TO HELP LAUNCH OUR NEW SUSTAINABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE. ONE NEW SYSTEM OF 126 PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS, VALUED AT ABOUT $115,000, WAS DONATED BY WILLIS A. SMITH CONSTRUCTION, INC. AND WAS INSTALLED BY REGIONSOLAR. THE SYSTEM SUPPLEMENTS ELECTRICAL POWER AT MOTE'S NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED HOSPITALS FOR DOLPHINS, SMALL WHALES AND SEA TURTLES. A SECOND 30.2-KILOWATT SYSTEM PROVIDED BY LOCAL DONOR AND SOLAR-ENERGY SUPPORTER JIM LAMPL WAS INSTALLED MOTE AQUACULTURE PARK - THE LAB'S ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE FISH FARM AND RESEARCH FACILITY IN EASTERN SARASOTA COUNTY. THE SOLAR INSTALLATIONS KICKED OFF MOTE'S SUSTAINABLE ENERGY INITIATIVE, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW FOR MORE SOLAR POWER AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE PRACTICES AT OUR LAB, HOSPITAL FACILITIES AND THE AQUARIUM. MOTE SCIENTIST TAGS GREAT WHITE WITH ACCELEROMETER A GREAT WHITE SHARK WAS TAGGED FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH A FINE-SCALE MOTION SENSOR ON SEPT. 13 BY A MOTE SCIENTIST DURING A JOINT RESEARCH EXPEDITION WITH OCEARCH OFF MASSACHUSETTS. THE SHARK WAS NICKNAMED "GENIE" AFTER MOTE'S FOUNDING DIRECTOR, FAMOUS "SHARK LADY" DR. EUGENIE CLARK. THE FEMALE GREAT WHITE, WHICH WEIGHED MORE THAN 2,500 POUNDS AND MEASURED NEARLY 15 FEET LONG, WAS TAGGED AND RELEASED DURING THE EXPEDITION. MOTE'S ACCELEROMETER REVEALED THAT GENIE SWAM VERY LEVEL AFTER RELEASE. SHE STARTED WITH FREQUENT TAIL BEATS OF LOWER POWER, AND THEN SHE RESUMED A STRONGER, MORE TYPICAL SWIMMING PATTERN WITH MORE FORCE BEHIND EACH TAIL BEAT. DURING THE LAST FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE TAG CAME OFF (AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO, SO MOTE SCIENTISTS COULD RETRIEVE ITS DATA), GENIE WAS VERY ACTIVE - SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SWIMMING IN STRONG CURRENTS OR CHASING PREY. MANATEE MATING HERD DOCUMENTED BY MOTE SCIENTISTS AT SIESTA KEY MOTE SCIENTISTS WERE ABLE TO DOCUMENT A GROUP OF MATING MANATEES SPOTTED IN SEPTEMBER OFF SIESTA KEY FOR GENETIC STUDIES. MATING HERDS OCCUR WHEN MALES TRY TO MATE WITH FEMALES THAT ARE READY TO CONCEIVE. OFTEN, AS THE FEMALE TRIES TO EVADE HER MALE SUITORS, LARGE GROUPS OF UP TO 20 MANATEES WILL END UP IN SHALLOW WATERS ALONG BEACHES. SCIENTISTS IN MOTE'S MANATEE RESEARCH PROGRAM TOOK PHOTOS OF THE HERD TO IDENTIFY THE INDIVIDUAL MANATEES AND COLLECTED DNA SAMPLES. USING THESE TECHNIQUES, MOTE SCIENTISTS HOPE TO UNLOCK THE MYSTERIES OF MANATEE MATING - FOR INSTANCE, WHICH MALES ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SIRES? AND DO FEMALES CHOOSE INDIVIDUAL PARTNERS? DNA SAMPLES ALSO HELP REVEAL THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF MANATEE POPULATIONS; DIVERSITY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT HELPS POPULATIONS ADAPT AND SURVIVE CHANGING CONDITIONS. BEGGAR THE DOLPHIN FOUND DEAD ONE OF SARASOTA'S MOST WELL-KNOWN AND ILL-FED DOLPHINS WAS FOUND DEAD NEAR THE ALBEE ROAD BRIDGE IN SARASOTA IN SEPTEMBER. KNOWN AS "BEGGAR," THE BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN WAS FED ILLEGALLY BY MANY PEOPLE - AN EXAMPLE OF HOW HUMAN BEHAVIOR CAN SOMETIMES HURT WILD ANIMALS. BEGGAR WAS ONE OF THE MOST STUDIED WILD DOLPHINS IN THE WORLD AS SCIENTISTS FROM MOTE AND FEDERAL AND STATE RESOURCE MANAGERS WORKED HARD TO LESSEN THE AMOUNT OF ATTENTION HUMANS PAID TO THIS DOLPHIN IN ORDER TO HELP THE DOLPHIN RETURN TO MORE NORMAL BEHAVIOR PATTERNS. BEGGAR WAS JUST ONE ANIMAL RECOVERED IN 2012 BY MOTE'S STRANDING INVESTIGATIONS PROGRAM - A 24-HOUR RESPONSE SERVICE FOR SICK, INJURED AND DEAD MARINE MAMMALS AND SEA TURTLES. IN ALL, STAFF RESPONDED TO: 10 DOLPHINS IN MANATEE, SARASOTA AND CHARLOTTE COUNTIES. FOUR OF THE DOLPHINS WERE ALIVE AND SIX WERE FOUND DEAD. FOUR OF THIS YEAR'S DOLPHINS HAD SIGNS OF FISHING GEAR INTERACTIONS, SUCH AS FISHING LINE ON OR INSIDE THEIR BODIES. 52 SEA TURTLES IN 12 FLORIDA COUNTIES. 28 WERE FOUND ALIVE. EIGHT HAD EVIDENCE OF FISHING INTERACTIONS, 11 WERE STRUCK BY BOATS AND TWO HAD SIGNS OF LIKELY BOAT STRIKES. MOTE SCIENTIST DECLARED PRESIDENT OF WORLD AQUACULTURE SOCIETY THE WORLD'S LARGEST AQUACULTURE ORGANIZATION INAUGURATED DR. KEVAN MAIN - A PIONEER IN SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE AT MOTE - AS PRESIDENT. THE WORLD AQUACULTURE SOCIETY, WHICH ADVANCES PROGRESSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE THROUGH MEMBERS IN NEARLY 100 NATIONS, INSTATED MAIN'S LEADERSHIP DURING ITS ANNUAL MEETING, CO-ORGANIZED THIS YEAR BY THE EUROPEAN AQUACULTURE SOCIETY AND HELD IN PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC. CORAL DISEASES MIGHT NOT BE CONTAGIOUS, NEW STUDY SAYS SICK CORALS MIGHT BE STRESSED BUT NOT NECESSARILY CONTAGIOUS - AN IMPORTANT FINDING FOR PREDICTING DISEASE OUTBREAKS ON THREATENED CORAL REEFS, ACCORDING TO RESEARCH BY MOTE AND PARTNER SCIENTISTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED THE LARGEST-EVER STUDY ABOUT THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF CORAL DISEASES.
