If I am not mistaken, our own Baja Gringo is in the forefront of abalone development and preservation.

What sayeth thou, Ron?

We can thank California department of game / wildlife for the withering foot disease In thier efforts to restore the abalone population exposed the wild stock thru abalone farming . DFW killed more abalone than pochers ever would have. With out good science they wiped out the black abalone. Never bring in a untested foreign breeding stock.

The state agency ran the abalone farms?







DFG did contract with the farms for restocking and did know that stock from New Zealand was to be used . Whitering foot first started in the early 1990s . it survives in the water collum for years and spreads infecting more during El Nino warm water years

The best way to get a hold of Ron is through the TALK BAJA forum on Facebook.

Free diver Brian knows what's up..

Withering foot syndrome is very well documented.. It nearly wiped out the black abalone in the Channel Islands.. Only a few strongholds of this species remain at the islands.. The whites (sorensons) are gone.

The pinks and reds are making a strong comeback in certain areas of the channel islands.. So much so, there was a chance they were going to open up a limited commercial harvest several years ago.. Didn't happen. iMO they should move some of the strong populations into the oh so precious closures they have now..... They won't listen to local fisherman though. Never have, never will

Two points.

#1 I am not on Facebook, as are millions of other folks. I will spare you of the details as to why I think Facebook is much more a negative than a positive foe society.

I was a regular poster on Ron's Talk Baja, but refused to join Facebook just to continue.

#2 Ron is still a Nomad and checks in here regularly,
