Attention abalone divers and rock pickers: The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is going to cut the take of abalone starting in 2014. They are allowing public input as to how they do it until the end of the month. Here's the link to the survey:

Abalone survey completed. I love ab diving,I'm just getting too old for it. I want to see it continue into the generations.

I am really upset that their options for regional limits lump Marin and Sonoma county together. If there is a shortage in Sonoma then limit harvest in Sonoma? Why include Marin?

ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for. Just like halibut get hammered when salmon season is closed, Marin abalone will receive more pressure if the Sonoma Coast is closed.
