As Black Abalone Goes, So Goes Our Ocean...
- The plight of the black abalone is indicative of what we have done to our oceans, said Brendan Cummings, ocean program director at the Center for Biological Diversity. The combined effects of overfishing, disease, and global warming have pushing the black abalone to the brink of extinction. Our oceans are in crisis, but if we squarely address this crisis even the most imperiled species, like the black abalone, will have a chance to recover. - excerpt from this Center for Biological Diversity press release.
