14、o come to the aid of seals and sea lions,while at the same time,built a state-of-the-art marine mammal hospital and educational cen-ter.The metal,wood,and other recyclable building materials have yielded a sophisticated complex that will enable us to better accomplish our mission while giving visito

15、rs the opportunity to learn about our work and the inspiration to become stewards of our ocean environment.During the year,we added a new leader to our family.Dr.Jeff Boehm,formerly the head of the veterinary and conservation units at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago,returned to his home state to becom

16、e our new Executive Director.Under his leadership,we look forward to advancing the Centers mission and refining our vision as we move through this year of great transition.In addition to bringing Jeff to the Center,our team achieved many great successes,including responding to over 800 marine mammal

17、 strandings,and tending to species of special interest a Hawaiian monk seal,and a Steller sea lion,two species which have seen dramatic population declines.We continued to advance our studies into marine mammal dis-eases,for instance,examining the carcasses of 30 harbor porpoises that washed ashore

18、in August.We also continued our study on harbor seals in the bay,and launched a new study on wild populations of sea lions to better understand their exposure to leptospirosis,a cause of kidney disease in these animals.While we were busy educating over 15,000 students about marine mammals and how th

19、ey can help the ocean environment,we also advanced our message and visibility through the media and were proud to be featured on the award-winning science series NOVA in November.Through prudent oversight and a solid commitment from staff,the board,our volunteers,and supporters,we are confident that

20、 we will be in a solid position to open the doors to our new facility in June 2009.The Center,like many other organizations,is not immune to the effects of the recession,and that led us to examine our revenue projections and growing expense projections even closer.We finished the year posi-tively an

21、d maintained a healthy revenue stream and cash flow balances.Our revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30,2008 and was$12.7 million.The net surplus of$6.5 million was from capital contributions for the Sausalito construction.Our grand opening in June 2009 will be a major milestone in our histo

22、ry a cause for celebration.As we look back to our humble beginnings in 1975 and look forward to the transition into our new facilities,The Marine Mammal Center has an opportunity to continue to learn and lead as we increase our understand-ing of our interdependence with marine mammals and the ocean.
