Peter Baye went tide pooling during the last big minus tides. He was surprised to see such big and healthy-looking Abalones!
Peter wrote, “I don’t want to publicly identify the exact location, but I saw more large Abalone today in one area exposed at a foot minus tide. I counted 285 Abalone in the half hour before it got dark!"
Good news, we hope, for the health of the abalone off our coast. Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

A terrific sign for the recovery of our coastal water creatures and ecosystems!
