As one of the Coastkeeper volunteer divers, it's the hardest diving job you'll come to love. Yesterday we spent nearly 2 hours in 30 fsw off Laguna collecting red and purple urchins; over 200 of 'em, hauled 'em out to deep water, and dumped 'em overboard. Barely a dent in the near shore urchin population, but eventually more and more of the kelp beds and their inhabitants will be restored. Even saw a black sea bass!
Come on aboard, we need more dedicated volunteers.
