What a fun and fascinating film! You guys bring the hilarity to educational vids!!! Abalone off my California coast have just collapsed population wise in my lifetime. It's very sad.
Very dramatic and instructive video. I must say, a balanced ecosystem, intact habitat, and events like sea star wasting disease and the poor recovery of sunstars is unfortunately not included. Naming sunstars and sea otters as critical predators, ignores the unbalanced distribution of these species after sea star waiting and historic sea otter annihilation. The trophic ballance of the Salish Seas is drastically interrupted and will remain so until it is able to rebalance.

Thanks Dave! Come for the horse-racing abalone stay for amazing footage and facts! Always great hearing from you.
And loved the Flying Circus "Dinsdale" reference!!!
The Salish Sea has great abs!
Good one!
Wonderful fun video. Only ever seen them in aquariums so far - never while diving. Fingers crossed that will will start to change!

Its' sad that a sensitive animal like this (and all animals) cannot live their lives w/o being poached, tortured, killed, stolen by humans.
