Clatsop Beach Still Closed To Razor Clamming
Details
Don't do it.
State game enforcement is warning that people will be fined for digging razor clams on North Oregon Coast beaches. They are keeping a very close eye on Clatsop Beach but the warning covers all beaches from Astoria to Florence. Clatsop Beach is typically the most productive razor clam beach in the state but high levels of toxin make the clams unsafe to eat.
Crab harvesting remains open along the entire Oregon coast. Coastal scallops are not affected by biotoxin closures when only the adductor muscle is eaten. The Oregon Department of Agriculture does not recommend eating whole scallops. Commercial shellfish products remain safe for consumers.
