Abstract

Glassow’s (2015) synthesis of “red abalone middens” on California’s Santa Cruz Island does not include the broader geographic, chronologic, and ecological context to this phenomenon. We explore the wider distribution of these site types and emphasize their importance for addressing modern fisheries management issues.

La síntesis de Glassow (2015) sobre “los sitios de abulón rojo” en la Isla de Santa Cruz en California no incluye el contexto geográfico, cronológico y ecológico más amplio de este fenómeno. Nosotros exploramos la distribución más extensa de este tipo de sitios y enfatizamos su importancia para abordar problemas en la administración de pescaderías modernas.
