Abalone Stories: Loss, Connection, Renewal.
At a time when our oceans are reaching record temperatures, this recognition feels especially meaningful.
Grateful to an incredible team—Fabian Aguirre, A.J. Marson, and Maya Pisciotto—and to everyone supporting ocean storytelling.

Abalone have many stories to tell. Along California's North Coast, over 95% of the bull kelp is gone, and purple sea urchins are surging. These endangered mollusks face critical threats. Abalone Chronicles, my upcoming film, uncovers these challenges, the passion they inspire, and their cultural significance. Stay tuned for a story of resilience and hope. Photo credit: AJ Mason
