ABERDEEN Recreational Dungeness crab fisheries on the coast from areas north of Point Chehalis to the Queets River have closed due to elevated marine toxin levels, state shellfish managers announced Monday.
Previous closures remain in effect for Marine Area 1 (Ilwaco) and Marine Area 2 (Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay) due to elevated marine toxin levels.
“We wish we had better news, but our first priority is public safety,” said state Department of Fish and Wildlife coastal shellfish manager Dan Ayres. “The Department of Health will continue marine toxin sampling in all marine areas as weather and ocean conditions allow. Our decision on whether or not to open crabbing areas will be based on these sampling results.”

Like a sapling left standing after a clearcut, the public lands of Southwest Washington are slowly growing one ring at a time.
Recently, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed that 6,557 acres of Weyerhaeuser timberlands have been opened to the public through their private lands access program.
Those acres are located primarily in the Cascade foothills south of Mount St. Helens and on the east side of Interstate 5. One of the four parcels is located just southeast of Yale Reservoir along the Clark/Skamania county line. Other parcels are located in Game Management Units 568 (Washougal), 572 (Siouxon), and 568 (South Clark County). In those areas, access permits will no longer be required for visitors but the use of motorized vehicles is still prohibited.
