It's like if you're being mugged, you toss your wallet and run. If these guys would just toss their abalone and swim away they'd be fine.

Not true, at least based on the article, they are being attacked on their way to and back from the abalone grounds. Sorry, I couldn't find the article again, IIRC it was in the NY Times, but I'm getting an error message.
