• If you hear anything about abalone poaching or see suspicious activities, record your observations and report any information to Abalone Watch 1-800-465-4336. Remember, every tip counts.
• Support abalone education, research and rebuilding efforts.
• If abalone appears on a restaurant menu, ask where it’s from. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa all have commercial abalone fisheries.
• Become an informed consumer and only support sustainable fisheries when you shop or order in a restaurant.
