Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Abalone Report
						Card Required. All individuals including divers must have an Abalone Report
						Card in their immediate possession while fishing for or taking red abalone.
						Individuals must complete and return the card pursuant to regulations in this
						Section and in Section
						1.74.
(b) Tagging Requirements. An Abalone Report
						Card includes detachable tags that shall be used to tag any abalone that is
						taken and retained in the sport fishery. Any red abalone possessed by any
						person shall be tagged.
(1) Cardholders shall
						tag any red abalone either immediately upon exiting the water or immediately
						upon boarding a vessel, whichever occurs first. For the purposes of this
						section a vessel is defined as any watercraft used or capable of being used as
						a means of transportation on water (reference Section
						9840(a) CVC).
						Cardholders shall not wait to return to their vehicle, beach site or other
						location to tag any abalone in possession.
EXCEPTION: Cardholders who dive from a non-motorized
						  vessel such as a kayak that is in the water may wait until immediately after
						  disembarking from the non-motorized vessel to tag and record any abalone in
						  possession, but shall not transfer any abalone from his or her immediate
						  possession unless they are first tagged and recorded on the report
						  card.
(2) The cardholder
						shall fill in the month, day, time of catch, and fishing location on the
						abalone tag, remove and completely detach the tag from the card, and affix it
						to the shell of the abalone.
(3)
						The tag shall be securely fastened to the shell of the abalone. To affix the
						tag, a "zip tie", string, line or other suitable material shall be passed
						through a siphon hole on the abalone shell and through the tag at the location
						specified on the abalone tag.
(4)
						Tags shall be used in sequential order, and shall not be removed from the
						report card until immediately prior to affixing to an abalone. Any tags
						detached from the report card and not affixed to an abalone shall be considered
						used and therefore invalid.
(5) No
						person shall possess any used or otherwise invalid abalone tags not attached to
						an abalone shell.
