GREEN Abalone SHELL for St. Patrick's DAY

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!! Here's a little GREEN (polished & dyed) Abalone perfect for today. But ONLY take RED Abalone during the season that opens on APRIL 1st!! We are all getting excited for the start of Ab season so as the VERY Responsible Dive Shop we are I'm going to list the basic rules & regulations for you all :) 
1) Abalone may be taken by FREEDIVERS ONLY (no SCUBA), North of San Francisco Bay.
2) No more than 3 RED Abalone may be possessed by one person at any time!!
3) Abalone must measure 7 inches or greater along the longest shell diameter. And every person while taking Abalone must carry an Ab gauge that accurately measures 7 in.
4) The season is OPEN during the months of April, May, June, AUGUST, September, October, and November from one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset.
5) If freediving for the abs you need to have BOTH a Fishing License AND an Abalone Report Punch Card and TAG your abs immediately upon returning to your boat or shore!!
