Email [email protected] As you know, we have long outgrown our current Address 76 Albert Park Lane, San Rafael, CA 94901 facility in Albert Park and have been seeking a new Office Hours 9am–5pm M-F home for some time. Last year the Silveira family Exhibit Hall, Courtyard and Clinic Hours approached me after realizing the under-utilized “Honor 9am–5pm seven days a week Farm” site on their land might be a perfect fit for our needs.

S. Army Vice President Julie Allecta barracks in the late 1950s. Treasurer Aaron Canale This new location makes our long overdue and critical need for expansion Linda Cheng possible. The existing buildings on the property will be renovated to create Ed Dong Alexandra Morehouse a new, larger hospital for wildlife patients. Classrooms and exhibit space will Susan Rusche be added to provide larger, better quality space for our renowned Terwilliger Kate Van Gytenbeek Nature Education programs. Wildlife Ambassadors, our live non-releasable former patients who provide unique “nose-to-beak” education for visitors, will executive director Karen Wilson enjoy larger, more naturalized enclosures. The new location will also allow on-site rehabilitation of larger animals, such as fawns and raptors.

Box 243 New Durham, NH 03855 Funding for this project was provided by the towns of New Durham and Alton, New Hampshire. FB Environmental Associates iii MERRYMEETING RIVER & LAKE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY According to the 303(d) New Hampshire List of Impaired Waters, Marsh, Jones, and Downing Ponds are impaired for primary contact recreation due to elevated levels of cyanobacteria hepatotoxic microcystins. Toxic cyanobacteria blooms are often indicative of enhanced nutrient loading, particularly phosphorus, from point source (PS) and nonpoint source (NPS) pollution such as stormwater runoff from developed and agricultural land uses. In this case, point source discharges from the Powder Mill State Fish Hatchery are estimated to contribute 342 kg P/yr (67% of the total load) to the river as it flows into Marsh Pond. Local groups and town officials are working with state and federal agencies to set an appropriate phosphorus load discharge limit for the Powder Mill State Fish Hatchery; this permitted limit will dictate the achievable in-pond concentrations for Marsh, Jones, and Downing Ponds, and thus, the water quality goals described herein should be considered preliminary.

    Annual Report on Conservation and Science INTRODUCTION 2 2018 Annual Report on Conservation and Science The Association of Zoos and Aquariums and its member facilities envision a world where, as a result of their work, all people respect, value, and conserve wildlife and wild places. The 2018 Annual Report on Conservation and Science (ARCS) celebrates the conservation efforts, education programs, green (sustainable) business practices, and research projects of AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums and certified related facilities. Content in ARCS reflects submissions made to annual surveys available through AZA’s website. Each survey topic has been carefully defined to maximize consistency of reporting throughout the AZA community. AZA’s Wildlife Conservation Committee and Research and Technology Committee review all of the relevant submissions by members to promote even greater consistency. Field conservation focuses on efforts having a direct impact on animals and habitats in the wild. Education programming includes those with specific goals and delivery methods, defined content, and a clear primary discipline and target audience. Mission-focused research projects involve application of the scientific method, are hypothesis (or question)-driven, involve systematic data collection, and analysis of those data and draw conclusions from the research process. Green business practices focus on the annual documentation and usage of key resources: energy, fuel for transportation, waste, and water – as well as identification of specific green practices being implemented. AZA is grateful to each member that responded to these surveys. The response rate for each 2018 survey was as follows: » field conservation – 92% » education programming – 59% » green business practices – 65% » mission-focused research – 65% While the 2018 ARCS focuses on individual activities undertaken that year, download the 2018 Highlights (available at: aza.org/annual-report-on-conservation-and-science) to learn more about what the AZA community accomplished together.
