Abalone Take Reduced for 2014

Brandi and all the CCDA did make an nomination to be on the SAC for the peer review.

Dale, good ramblings and all taken in. This is my 39th abalone season this year in case if some were wondering, good ramblings.

Watermans Alliance nominated Dr Mark Steele.

Who did CCDA nominate?

The CCDA went with Dr. Jeremy Prince as our nomination. http://sfg.msi.ucsb.edu/about-us/people/collaborators/jeremy-prince

Considering the scoping charge of what is being asked for this OST review, abalone detection methods and SPR work we can not think of better candidate than Jeremy. His fishery experience with fishery assessments, including abalone and evaluations is forward thinking, we think.
