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.

Prior to his retirement in 2009, he worked for 28 years with Environment Canada, mainly on environmental issues in the mining sector, but he also advised for several years on Aboriginal affairs including treaty negotiations. 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.
