Scouting with Scuba for Abalone?
5-30-2013
CDFG
Question: Is there any regulation prohibiting a photographer with scuba gear from also scouting out large abalone for a regulation-compliant abalone diver to take? Thanks in advance, and for all you do.
Answer: The photographer in scuba cannot assist the free diver in any way. The action you describe falls within the definition of "take" under the Fish and Game Code and its regulations (see Fish and Game Code, Section 86 and California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 1.80). Both the abalone diver and the photographer with scuba gear may be cited for violating CCR, Title 14 Section 29.15(e), which prohibits the use of scuba gear to take abalone.
