John Warren, a San Clemente artist, based this 2007 sculpture on a childhood drawing he made when he encountered a black sea bass on the Capistrano Beach in Dana Point (Orange County Register). At the time the sculpture was chosen, the proposed title was "Comeback of the Black Sea Bass." The base of the sculpture indicates the revised title as 'Recovery - Giant Sea Bass (Stereolepis gigas)' (see below). It was installed in August, 2007.
