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.
