THE first day of the abalone fishing season in Western Australia has passed without tragedy - but only just.
WA's surf lifesaving authorities reported a busy morning on Sunday, with dozens of potentially disastrous incidents averted.
After posting a large number of volunteers at popular abalone fishing spots, lifesavers performed 106 "preventative actions" in the waters off WA, with no major incidents or injuries.
"We have had a busy morning keeping abalone fishermen safe," a SLSWA spokesman said.
For just five one-hour sessions on the first Sunday of the months from November to March, members of the public are allowed to fish for the marine delicacy.
Last season, two men died and another had his life saved during the recreational abalone season.
In November 2012, a 20-year-old Malaysian was swept out to sea in treacherous conditions while searching for the large edible sea snails north of Perth.
In late December, a Chinese man in his 40s drowned in the waters near Cape Leeuwin in the state's southwest.
And in January, the swift actions of a beach inspector saved a 50-year-old man hunting for abalone at Trigg Beach in Perth.
