Don't eat the lobsters (for a while)!
In case anyone here is a recreational lobster diver (or has a generous friend who is), DFG is warning us to only eat the tails for a while:

California Department of Fish and Game News Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - October 28, 2010

Domoic Acid Advisory Issued for Consumers of Lobsters and Rock Crabs in
Southern California

The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) is warning all
consumers of California spiny lobster to eat only the tail meat until
further notice. Elevated levels of domoic acid toxin have been found in
the viscera (internal organs) of lobster sampled from waters adjacent to
the northern Channel Islands. Elevated levels of the toxin have also
been detected in recent samples of rock crab, and so this warning also
extends to this species. The meat of the lobster and crab is not
affected by the toxin, but all internal organs, including the roe,
should be discarded.

...

... In the meantime, check DFG’s website at www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/healthadvisory.asp for updates and more
information on this situation.
