The species is currently listed on the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (Smith et al. 2003). NMFS initiated an informal ESA status review of black abalone on 15 July 2003, and conducted biological scoping workshops on 29-30 January 2004 and 31 July-1 August 2006. NMFS formally announced initiation of a black abalone status review on 17 October 2006 (71 FR 61021), and solicited information from the public regarding: life history and current status of the species, historic and current distribution and abundance patterns, potential factors for the species= decline (e.g., overharvesting, natural predation, disease, habitat loss, etc.), and ongoing conservation measures being taken to protect the species"--Introduction.
