A Collection of animals from Shelburne Harbour 1973 (Curatorial Report #24)

Abstract

During the summer of 1973 projects were carried out under the Opportunities for Youth Program (OFY) of the Federal Government, at Shelburne, Nova Scotia. One aspect of the work was the collection and preservation of marine life and the use of these collections in public information programs.

The collection made by the OFY group contained several interesting species, including some first records for Canadian waters. At the end of the projects in 1973 the Nova Scotia Museum obtained the collection from storage in Shelburne so that the important species records might be retained . The collection was transferred to the Nova Scotia Museum in 1974.
