2 | 2017 Annual Report trustee emeritus What a year. Without question, 2017 was, for all of us, one of the most challenging, exciting, and rewarding years in our 27-year operational history. From the completion of Campaign Caribbean and the remarkable grand opening of Caribbean Journey, to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Harvey, 2017 tested us like no other year. By almost any measure, it was our most successful year ever. Annual attendance reached nearly 600,000, and we engaged 73,000 students and teachers through our Flint Hills Resources Center for Excellence in STEM Education. We treated over 500 patients at our Wildlife Rescue Center. We generated nearly $16 million in operating revenue, a 35% increase over the previous year. Driving this growth were significant increases in our membership, special events, and food & beverage programming. These enterprises, along with your generous support, allowed us to operate the Aquarium with virtually no external funding, and continue to support our STEM education initiatives, our wildlife rehabilitation efforts, and ultimately, our field conservation work. Like all in our community, the Aquarium experienced the multiple impacts of Hurricane Harvey. Our physical damage was minimal; however, the loss of tourism during our last few weeks of summer was significant. Even more so, the most impacted were our team members who live in our north bay region. Many of them suffered significant damage to their homes, and some lost virtually everything. Heartfelt thanks go out to our generous Trustees and our aquarium and zoo colleagues from around the nation, all of whom rallied quickly with significant donations to help our teams through this difficult period. Little did we realize that we would soon be tested again with the unusually frigid winter of 2017/2018. The coda to this remarkable year—the surprise snow event in early December—sent bay and gulf water temperatures plummeting, commencing the largest cold-stunning event in recorded history. From December 1 through the end of January, 1,069 cold-stunned green sea turtles were admitted into our Wildlife Rescue Center. As of this writing, more than 1,000 of those turtles have now been safely returned to the . A stronger focus on wildlife rehabilitation and conservation is a key component in our new strategic plan. We need to make sure we are prepared for whatever Mother Nature sends our way. You’ll hear more about our future plans in the coming months. In the meantime, enjoy this look back at a most amazing 2017. Thank you for your ongoing support. We want to do more and, with your help, we can.

HURRICANE Harvey escalated quickly, and Aquarium staff transported into the safe confines of the Category 4–rated were prepared and had a plan in place long before the Caribbean Journey building or into compatible Gulf of storm fully developed. With landfall in Corpus Christi Mexico exhibits. The most challenging animals to move imminent, workers removed chairs, tables, and other by far were the Aquarium’s four resident dolphins—Liko, outdoor features that could be affected by strong winds Kai, Shadow and Schooner.

Animals in outdoor exhibits and the dolphins to San Antonio was abandoned in favor of rehabilitated animals at the Aquarium’s offsite Wildlife keeping them at the Aquarium.

A large ride-out team stayed at the Aquarium throughout the storm, ensuring each animal was well-fed and healthy. Thanks largely to this team’s work, all animals remained safe through Harvey. The Aquarium suffered no major property losses and opened to the public just a few days later as a welcome symbol of resilience and recovery in .

Transporting animals into a safe environment was the utmost priority during Hurricane Harvey. Among the animals that were temporarily relocated were stingrays into Gulf of Mexico’s Nearshore exhibit and dolphins into containment units in Caribbean Journey.

7 As a longtime accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the Texas State Aquarium provides its animals with the highest quality of care, including the best possible environments, diets, and veterinary treatment. Staff in 2017 not only continued to deliver top-notch animal care to the Aquarium’s Gulf of Mexico wildlife, they prepared for the arrival of 60 additional species in Caribbean Journey, each with their own unique needs.

Divers in Caribbean Journey’s Coral Reef feed the fish daily by hand to make sure these aquatic animals get a varied and nutritious diet.

9 In 2017, the Texas State Aquarium’s Wildlife Rescue Center cared for and released 206 animals, including 137 sea turtles.

The Texas State Aquarium’s Wildlife Rescue Center, supported by the Aquarium’s proceeds and through private donations, is the only rescue center in Texas capable of simultaneously treating shorebirds, raptors, sea turtles, and marine mammals. Altogether, 522 animals were admitted into the Wildlife Rescue Center after becoming ill, injured, orphaned, or stranded in the wild. The Aquarium’s patients included 66 shorebirds, 283 raptors, and 173 sea turtles. With so many partnering rescue organizations affected by Hurricane Harvey, the Wildlife Rescue Center made an even greater commitment to rescuing sea turtles and other injured wildlife in 2017. Rescue Staff underwent extensive training for treating endangered marine reptiles. Working in close partnership with the National Seashore’s Division of Sea Turtle Science & Recovery, the Aquarium kicked off 2017 with the release of several sea turtle patients in February and closed the year with another wide-scale release of 80 sea turtles in December, releasing a total of 137 sea turtles throughout 2017. All in all, it was a breakthrough year for the Wildlife Rescue Center and a big step forward in its ongoing mission to save ill, injured, and endangered wildlife in Texas.

13 Promoting the protection and understanding of sharks, including vulnerable Caribbean species like the sandbar sharks, was an increasing focus of the Aquarium in 2017.

Aquarium conservation efforts, which have historically focused largely on the Gulf of Mexico, expanded in 2017 to also protect and conserve the Caribbean.

Admission to Texas State Aquarium supports the conservation of Caribbean Journey’s real-life counterpart, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. Aquarium displays also illustrated conservation issues such as the damaging role of single-use plastic on ocean health.
