((New England Aquarium)) Annual Report 2005 ((Letter to our Supporters )) Dear Friends of the New England Aquarium: In 2005, change was all around us at the New England Aquarium. One of us, Bud, took the helm as the Aquarium’s new President and CEO in September, ready and eager to lead the Aquarium forward. We welcomed three new trustees and eleven new overseers to our two boards, adding a great deal of experience and passion for the Aquarium’s mission to present, promote and protect the world of water. Down on Central Wharf, we introduced a terrific series of theme programs (Sharks: Tales and Truths and Turtle Trek) to give visitors a whole new way to experience our exhibits. We made significant progress in modernizing key structural components of the Aquarium, saw attendance increase three percent over 2004, and continued to strengthen our finances by finishing the year with an operating surplus. We also watched the Boston waterfront take on new life as the Rose Kennedy Greenway finally began to rise from the dust and clutter of the Big Dig. Equally important, we extended the reach of our pioneering marine conservation programs, continued our longstanding efforts to protect the North Atlantic right whale, Kemp’s ridley seaturtle and other endangered species, and forged exciting part- nerships with businesses to provide consumers with seafood harvested from well-managed stocks throughout the world. All of these developments give us great confi- dence in the Aquarium’s future, and have helped lay the groundwork for a new five-year Action Plan that will be completed by the end of 2006. None of this could have been accomplished without the help of the Aquarium’s incredibly dedicated staff, ever- growing membership, generous support of many foundations, and loyalty of our wonderful contribu- tors. For that we are most grateful!

Sincerely,

Bud Ris President and CEO

Many scientists began to ask: What other lasting, damaging effects did the tsunami have? scientist Gregory Stone led an expedition with the National Geographic Society to survey coral reefs Thailand’s that question. Like rainforests on land, coral reefs are complex and species-rich environments, and are among the most diverse ecosystems. The results of the coral reef survey were both sur- prising and incredibly disappoint- ing. While the team found not as much damage from the tsunami as perhaps they expected, the dam- age inflicted on our coral reefs— and the precious, diverse life within them—is constant, a product of human impacts, not of a single natural disaster. results of the expedition appeared in the December 2005 issue of National Geographic Aquarium released a full report on our website.

By sharing their time, knowledge and love for the world of water, they make it pos- sible for the Aquarium to be the vital and exciting institution it is. Our volunteer corps consists of individ- uals of diverse backgrounds and ages. They all have different reasons for donating their time, and they all get something different from the experience. Jeremiah Seymour, a 27-year-old intern and volunteer in husbandry, credits his time here with prompting him to go back to school for biology and psychology at UMass Boston. “I’ve definitely made 2005 Volunteer professional connections with the staff in Hours By Category 5% 3% fishes and research,” he says. “The staff is 1% 36% really encouraging and helpful.” 55% ( Jeremiah Seymour ) Nineteen-year-old Gerson Louis has been volunteering here since 2003.

Foundation and Government Support Grants from foundations and government agencies provided vital support to the Aquarium’s overall operations. Unrestricted grants exceeded $700,000. Program grants supporting specific, mission-driven activities amount- ed to more than $3.5 million. The David and Lucille Packard Foundation supported the Aquarium’s efforts to conserve global fisheries with a grant of $185,000 to the Sustainable Fisheries Initiative. NOAA’s John H. Prescott Program provided sup- port for the Aquarium’s marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation efforts through a grant of $100,000. The Starr Foundation’s $50,000 grant helped the Teacher Resource Center provide materi- als, activities and ideas to more than 3,000 educators interested in bringing the world of water into their curricula. Several major capital pro- jects were completed in 2005, including renovations to the Gulf of Maine and Edge of the Sea exhibits, restoration work on the building’s exterior, replacement of water piping that supplies our exhibits, and repair to the public walkway lining Central Wharf.

Kathleen and Ross Sherbrooke The humpback was initially spotted on April 19, and Mr. and Mrs. James Simons consistent sightings continued through April 22. Harbor Navigators ($5,000+) The Aquarium, along with the Whale Center of Anonymous New England, chose not to publicize the information Dorothy and David Arnold until later because of the added risk of ship strikes by Denise Burgess Mr. Alan R. Dynner curiosity seekers. Sightings of a small whale moving Mr. and Mrs. Lionel P.
