Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB Accounting Standards Codification ASC Topic 740 that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return and provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit by the taxing authorities. Management believes that all tax positions taken to date are highly certain, and, accordingly, no accounting adjustment has been made to the financial statements. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of the income tax expense, if applicable.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Education- The Organization interacts with thousands of students and citizens at schools and public outreach events to raise regional awareness about watersheds and marine issues. Currently, in more than 40 schools, the Organization promotes stewardship and environmental careers through its Whales program, which provides in-class and field experience to junior high school and high school students each year.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/ExpenseAmt0558939
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Advocacy- The Organization collaborates on various projects and advocates for stricter storm water and runoff regulations at regulatory agencies and commissions, as well as state, county, and local governments. The Organization promotes collaborative solutions to enhance coastal protection, including ensure public access to coastal resources, and healthy marine habitats.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/ExpenseAmt0521205
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Restoration- The Organization has restored local marine habitats. In the near shore water, giant Kelp was brought back from Newport Beach to Dana Point. In Upper Newport Harbor and Alamitos Bay eelgrass was planted and it thrives to now, four acres. Next to the eelgrass beds, we installed substrates to restore Olympia Oysters. Restoring eelgrass next to Oysters is part of the California Living Shoreline program and is proving a natural buffer against sediment erosion in sea level rise.

The data is collected and reports are prepared to assist in public policy decisions. Special Projects include programs to engage residents of the region on specific issues in collaboration with the State. The Organization conducts campaigns to support or oppose specific proposed development projects, permits, utilities, actions that impact coastal or inland waterways.
