about
California’s coasts once thrived with red abalone, emblematic of a robust marine ecosystem. Yet, over harvesting has led to their dramatic decline and a total ban on abalone diving.
Skilled divers risk their lives in treacherous conditions, and despite stringent regulations, illegal harvesting persists.
Wardens, often blending into the rugged coastline, play a crucial role in safeguarding this endangered species. The battle to preserve the red abalone continues, underscoring the importance of vigilant conservation efforts.
