Diablo Canyon power plant site ecological study annual report; July 1, 1974 - June 30, 1975 and Quarterly Report no. 8 April 1, 1975 - June 30, 1975
We continued surveys of permanent and random subtidal stations, completing surveys of 13 permanent stations and 28 random stations during the year. Red abalone numbers continued to decline in Diablo Cove and Control Areas. Giant red sea urchins declined at permanent stations. The bull kelp canopy increased noticeably in Diablo Cove.Most of our time was spent surveying intertidal stations andprocessing algae samples. Both red and black abalone showeda decrease in numbers in Diablo Cove as well as the ControlArea.Sea otters moved north of Diablo Cove to the Pt. Buchon areain the fall of 1974. In the spring of 1975 the rafts movedsouth again to the vicinity of Pecho Rock.The commercial sea urchin fishery was inactive during most of the year, while the commercial abalone fishery operated at a very low level.Several miscellaneous studies were continued or initiated during the period. 112pp.)
