Hello, and welcome to another issue of the Marine Management News, the DFG Marine Region newsletter for everyone interested in the management and conservation of California's living marine resources. In this issue, we bring you news regarding southern California spiny lobster research, a review of groundfish management practices, and a reminder to send in your abalone report cards (we'll even give you the address). We test your fish identification knowledge as well, give you information about interesting ocean creatures, share news about a whopper of an abalone landing with you, and much more.
