Acknowledgements

Preparation of this status report and associated travel costs were supported by a contract with Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada, and grants from New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources. The authors would also like to thank Andrew Hebda, Curator of Zoology, Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History, and Jerry Leary, Director, The Nylander Museum for kindly providing access to collections under their charge. Staff of the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources made the results of their freshwater mussel surveys of 1999 available for reference. Also Ms. Sana Kavanagh of University College of Cape Breton, Sydney provided initial results of her 1999 study of mussels of Sydney River. The Atlantic Coastal Action Program of Cape Breton through Environment Canada’s Science Linkage Program provided funding for Kellie White’s 2001-2002 study on the Sydney River. Technical consultation for that study was provided by Diane Amirault (Canadian Wildlife Services), Janice Smith (National Water Research Institute) and Jim Foulds (University College of Cape Breton). Edgar Barrington and Mike Joseph of the Community Employment Innovation Project carried out the data collection for K. White’s study of the Sydney River. We are also grateful to Dwayne Sabine and Scott Makepeace, Fish and Wildlife Branch, New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy, who permitted extensive use of their submitted manuscript (prepared with McAlpine) on the Yellow Lampmussel in the Saint John River and tributaries. Dwayne Sabine also provided very helpful comments on a draft of this report.
