“Part IX, line 11g: line includes consulting fees which supported and advanced Oceanites programmatic activities and mission: releasing the State of Antarctic Penguins report, a key accomplishment; achieving international visibility via the four-part PBS series, Warning from Antarctica and a multi-part podcast series on PBS; rolling out a children's ebook about penguins and climate change; briefing Congressional staff on pengiuns, Antarctica and climate change; continuing to explore a connection with a major local university to develop speaking opportunities and potentially teach a class about Antarctica, penguins and climate change; and other social media outreach and awareness activities.”

“Part III, line 1. The mission is twofold: First, to monitor penguin populations on the frontlines of climate change in the Antarctic Peninsula. There, its warmed faster than almost anywhere else and where the gentoo penguin population has soared while Adelie and chinstrap populations have dramatically plunged. Secondly, from this flows our effort, using the lens of penguins, to create a new movementa more positive and impactful climate change narrative about whether well be winners wholl adapt when the warming comes our way. Oceanites values are grounded in the belief that all of us, working together, can bring about positive change, and that too many people are disengaged from the reality that were essentially no different than penguins. We breathe the same air and have the same necessities of life. We, too, are biological creatures who cant sustain ourselves without food to eat, safe homes, a disease-free and healthy environment, and retaining the ability to produce kids and grandkids.”
