In Memory of
Pat and Noel Tibbo

Pat and Noel Tibbo were long-time residents of St. Andrews, and loved the town where they created and raised their family. Noel Tibbo was an internationally renowned fisheries scientist who dedicated his career to fisheries research and management. He and Pat valued the wonder and abundance of our oceans. The family has established this opportunity to donate in memoriam in recognition of their dedication to St. Andrews and their outstanding service to their community and the world of marine science. Donations collected in memory of Pat and Noel Tibbo will be used to support the activities of Huntsman Marine Science Centre.

In Memory of
Dr. Michael David Owen

We were saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Dr. Michael David Owen on October 20, 2024. Professor Emeritus Owen was a long time supporter of Huntsman Marine having served as a member of the Board of Directors and teaching several courses here over the years. One of his favourite teaching experiences was instructing the Field Course in Experimental Marine Biology, which he taught along the shores of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick on behalf of Western University and Huntsman Marine over many years during his academic career and into his retirement. We are honored that his family has chosen donations to The Huntsman Marine Science Centre in lieu of flowers in his memory.
