In 1949, Bemie Gollop became the first CWS biolo- gist to be stationed in Saskatoon. He remained in that office until his retirement in 1987. Among oth- ers who, like Gollop, earned international reputa- tions for their work on prairie waterfowl were George Hochbaum and Alex Dzubin. By the mid- 1960s, their work and that of their CWS colleagues on the prairies had gained sufficient recognition that a dedicated research facility, the Prairie Migratory Bird Research Centre, was established in Saskatoon. Some 70 Canadian and American waterfowl biolo- gists attended a major seminar on wetlands in February 1967 to mark the official opening.^^ In his introductory remarks, David Munro, then Director of the Wildlife Service, stated: We now know that the sloughs and potholes of southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and adjacent parts of the Dakotas and Montana are the breeding habitat for over two-thirds of the continent's most sought-after We recognize that we are concerned not with ducks alone but with the management of an environment. Our point of departure is the prairie as habitat for ducks, but it is quite clear that we cannot solve the problem of waterfowl maintenance without an understanding of the ecological and economic characteristics of cereal cul- ture, the social and economic implications of recreation, and the physical nature of ground water flow and evapo- transpiration, to name but a few aspects of the pr
