Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“Motivate contemporaries in their schools in action campaigns to protect the ocean. New and emerging leaders are recruited and empowered through the "next generation" by connecting with 18 to 30-year old ocean defenders. Volunteers who participate in the coa events and programs are a cross- section of nj and ny, coming from diverse areas throughout the states. Pollution abatement - since its inception in 1984, coa has targeted sources of ocean pollution and has succeeded in closing all eight ocean dumpsites off the coast of nj. The number one ocean pollution problem in new jersey and the nation is non-point source pollution (npsp). Coa has many programs to motivate citizens to get involved and make a difference to ebb the tide of npsp. In addition, coa works through state and federal programs to enhance and improve regulations to identify and reduce pollution sources. Coa also works at the grassroots level, including litter abatement programs and the bay buddy program to reduce sources of pollution from homeowners. Research- coa continues to target sources of ocean pollution by reviewing all ocean discharge permit applications, as well as dredged material management permit applications. In addition, coa monitors federal register notices and state public notices to determine if proposed projects will be detrimental to marine water quality and responds accordingly. Moreover, ocean energy proposals and climate change impacts are reviewed to ensure ocean water quality protection. Coa also acts as a watchdog by responding to and investigating calls from citizens about possible polluting activities. All evaluations and subsequent comments are prepared with scientific, technical, and legal expertise to ensure protection of marine water quality from pollution, including from chemical, biological, litter and floatable materials.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The organization follows fasb asc 740 "income taxes" which clarifies the accounting and recognition for tax positions taken or expected to be taken. The organization recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority. For the year ended december 31, 2014, the organization has determined that there are no material uncertainties in income taxes. In addition, the organization has not incurred any income tax related penalties or interest for the year ended december 31, 2014, and is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the internal revenue service for years prior to 2011.”
