Trustees, officers, and senior managers are required to disclose their interests that could give rise to conflicts of interest upon election or appointment and thereafter annually or otherwise as changed circumstances may warrant.

“The process for determining the compensation of the top management official included review and approval by the executive committee, which acts as the compensation committee of the governing body. No persons with a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement at issue were involved. The executive committee used data as to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. The deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation arrangement were contemporaneously documented and the records kept. After the compensation of the top management official was determined by the executive committee, such compensation was considered and reviewed by the governing body. The process was used to establish compensation of the person who served in the office of president (officer and top management official). The process was last undertaken in 2016.”

“Manomet's mission: manomet uses science and collaboration to improve the health of flyways, coastal ecosystems, and working lands and seas. Manomet's vision: manomet envisions a world where ecosystems and human communities thrive together. Manomet's values: lead with excellence. Uphold scientific rigor. Create equality. Work boldly. Commit to accountability. Collaborate with all. Stay focused. Nurture wholeness. Flyways - safeguarding the health of birds. Manomet is best known for its work on avian species and is a global leader in shorebird conservation. We will grow the impact of this work through enhanced site conservation, expanded monitoring, and increased emphasis on working lands and seas. Resilient habitats - mending nature to benefit wildlife and human communities. For animals that travel tremendous distances - like migratory shorebirds that span continents, or fish that leave ocean life to spawn in rivers and streams - a diverse network of healthy and intact coastal, riverine, wetland, and grassland habitats are critical to ensuring that migratory populations thrive. At manomet, our greatest conservation accomplishments involve our ability to work with others, integrating cutting-edge science, targeted management actions, and long-term monitoring to improve habitat. We identify threats to nature and develop measures to alleviate pressure on the most vulnerable and sensitive ecosystems. Healthy ecosystems and vibrant wildlife populations are critical to ensuring that human communities thrive. Manomet is committed to understanding these issues and working toward maintaining and restoring resilient habitats to benefit wildlife and people. Education and outreach - empowering the next generation. For five decades, manomet has served as a research and education resource for local, national, and international students. We believe that education is one of the best tools to create long-term change. Our hope is that our expertise will inspire the next generation of conservationists, especially as we begin to feel the effects of climate change. We see the opportunity to influence a broad array of individuals on the value of the natural world through outreach in southeastern massachusetts, extending nationally and internationally through virtual programming and on-the-ground education. Working lands and seas - applying science is core to everything we do. By providing technical guidance and clearly communicating scientific results to stakeholders, we ensure that our science is applied toward solutions. Our science team will work closely with our program teams to ensure our guidance and metrics are thoroughly integrated at priority sites. Science has always been at the core of our work. Manomet remains focused on science-driven solutions to improve ecosystem health and human well-being, and we will continue to carry out original science to help drive change. Other programs: climate smart land network, sustainable economies, fisheries. - high quality habitat conditions for wildlife can exist alongside resource-based industries such as agriculture, fisheries, and salt production. Using our experience developed over several decades, we are expanding our efforts to secure greater conservation impacts. We continue to design, and then help implement better management practices for the benefit of nature, wildlife, involved business, and human communities.”
