DAM-L Don McAllister...



Dear fellow listmembers:

I have some sad news.

dam-l listmember Dr. Don McAllister passed away this weekend.

Among his other contributions while he graced the planet,
Don was a talented scientist, a fish biologist, taxonomist  and 
biodiversity expert.

He was involved with the IUCN; worked with UNEP; was a founder of
the ocean conservation group Ocean Voice, based in Ottawa; was icthyology 
curator for the Canadian Museum of Nature as well as their Biodiversity 
adviser. A  specialist in both coral reef fishhes and arctic fish species,
Don was a talented editor of Sea Wind, the conservation magazine produced 
by Ocean Voice as well as the editor of Canadian Biodiversity, a magazine
published by the Canadian Museum of Nature, among his other and many
accomplishments.

He was also my friend and I shall miss him greatly.

-Dianne
