Environmental historian Ann Vileisis goes deep and pulls together a fascinating story in Abalone, the Remarkable History and Uncertain Future of California’s Iconic Shellfish. Abalone has long been a source of wonder and value with its iridescent shell, hearty meat, and spiritual significance, but the once iconic shell fish is now nearly absent in the California waters. Join Ann in conversation with Suzanne Lang on KRCB’s A Novel Idea, Sunday, February 6th at 10 am PST, broadcasting at 104.9 FM, streaming and podcasting at norcalpublicmedia.org.
