Collaborate with CDFG to achieve goals of the ARMP and NMFS Species of concern Program; 2.) Assess the status of pink and green abalone at a variety of locations throughout the Channel Islands via diver surveys; 3.) Select sites that would be appropriate for translocation studies taking into consideration habitat suitability and current density and size distribution of abalone; and 4.)
