In memory of Dr. Michael Burt

It is with deepest sadness that we, at BoFEP, note the passing of Dr. Michael (Mick) D.B. Burt. Mick made  a significant contribution to the Bay of Fundy Ecosystem Partnership from its very beginning.

He attended the first workshop to form an organization that would be a network of researchers working on the ecology of the Bay of Fundy. He was co-chair of the BoFEP Stress and Cumulative Effects Working Group. In April of 2010, he, with Peter Wells, hosted a workshop on pollution in the Bay of Fundy and co edited the proceedings from that workshop. Over the past 15 years, BoFEP has contributed, though in a small way, to his research, most recently to his work on ectoparasites in Bay of Fundy fish.

BoFEP cherishes Mick’s contributions over the years. We offer our sincerest sympathy to Mick’s family and friends.
