Density of Abalone Mendocino County
Yes, I have noticed that the density is sparse in areas where normally I would see groupings of 5 in a small area or 10 or more in other areas. I see groupings of 2-4, and many times only 1 in about every 10' square area.
I strap mine to my inner forearm with a wide piece of velcro that I can release easily.
Releasing the weight belt may have exacerbated the situation. Being more buoyant with the kelp pulling tighter making it harder to reach down to untangle oneself.
