ACWERN Associates

In 2000, the Management Board created the category of ACWERN Associates, to:

  • recognize the value of continuing relationships between ACWERN faculty, students and staff, with science and management professionals.
  • recognize the broad influence that ACWERN research and conservation programs have through partnerships in Atlantic Canada, and
  • encourage other science professionals to develop continuing working partnerships with ACWERN.

Associates participated in ACWERN affairs and in joint research or conservation projects as well as provided advice and support to students.  They may have been from an ACWERN university or another academic institution, government agency, private industry, or non-government organization.   Associates were normally scientists holding a university degree, but may also have been recognized for their management or logistical support to ACWERN programs. 

The following individuals have been recognized as ACWERN Associates.
