@abalonehx your handle reminds me that I haven't had any really good abalone since the '60s and makes me kind of wistful in that regard

I've been a California diver for most of my life and abalone was one of the best game one could ever have. Due to the effects of warming oceans, abalone have become threatened and the take of abalone from the wild is now banned. Some farmed abalone can be had at restaurants though the steaks are tiny.

My friend that lives near fort Bragg says that the kelp beds have nearly disappeared, and that the beaches are covered in pieces of shells. He also recalled the kelp building up on the beaches four feet thick, no longer. Between more severe storms in winter months and competition with urchins, their future seems rather uncertain.

We used to get "abalone burgers" at a stand on the pier at Catalina for <$1
