Remembering Don McAllister
2001-06-25
Don E. McAllister, the founder of Ocean Voice International, died peacefully on Sunday June 17th in Ottawa. Dr McAllister dedicated his life to solving global environmental problems, especially those related to marine habitat. In 1989, he teamed up with the Haribon Foundation for the Conservation of Natural Resources in the Philippines and the International Marinelife Alliance to establish a training program for Filipino fishers. With IDRC funding, the program taught divers how to use hand-held, fine-mesh "fence" nets to catch ornamental fish, instead of sodium cyanide.
