This year proves to be another deadly abalone season off of the Northern Coast of California. On Friday a man died while abalone diving with a couple of friends near Sea Ranch. Last year there were seven deaths for the season (ending Nov. 30th). Abalone is a delicacy, served all over the world. It's numbers are dwindling, while demand is high. It is common for poachers to get busted, including rings that sell directly to restaurants in the Bay Area, as well as exporting to other states and countries.
