Cameron Ainsworth is an assistant professor at the University of South Florida. His work explores the interactions between human beings and marine ecosystems.

Robert G. McCandless began his professional career in oil and gas exploration before changing to mineral exploration in 1966.

In 2013, he wrote an essay for BC Studies (no. 178, summer 2013) on BC offshore petroleum exploration leading to the imposition in 1972 of the current “moratorium.” A resident of Delta, he continues research and writing on history topics.
