Opening Day Watch by The Abalone Hunter

Charlie Lorenz, “The Abalone Hunter” takes his watch with MAW on opening day!

Due to the extremely low tides, Mendocino Abalone Watch had observers all along the coastal bluffs. The City of Fort Bragg opened up their closed section of “The Coastal Trail” to MAW for access to observation posts along the coastal bluffs.

The day was incident free with some great opportunities to educate the diving public on proper measuring and rock picking techniques.
