wow, bad news all around
Chicken Little called it. Stupid chicken.
The abalone really breaks my heart. Historically, it was not a popular food source, but now rarity causes popularity, which furthers rarity.
On a positive note, spiny lobster and spotted prawns are doing well in Santa Barbara, as are oysters in our northern climes.
Thank the spaghettti monster…
