Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

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

“Tip series, and e-activism and social networking campaigns. New and emerging leaders are recruited and empowered by connecting with 18 to 30- year olds. Coa's volunteers and supporters represent a cross-section of diverse interest and areas throughout nj and ny. Pollution abatement - coa targets sources of ocean pollution and has succeeded in closing all eight ocean dumpsites off the coast of nj. From ending ocean dumping to spearheading campaigns and blocking ocean industrialization, coa has a proud record of taking on some of the region's greatest pollution threats and achieving success. The number one ocean pollution problem 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 and improve water quality. In addition, coa has worked 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 citizen-action microplastics research to reduce sources of pollution. 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, ocean acidification 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 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

“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, 2016, 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, 2016, and is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the internal revenue service for the years prior to 2013.”
