WDFW approves four days of coastal razor clam digs beginning Sept. 29; digging at Mocrocks is postponed
OLYMPIA – Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) shellfish managers confirmed today the first round of razor clam digging opportunities at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, and Copalis begin Sept. 29.
“The first razor clam digs of the season will begin on some beaches this Friday (Sept. 29), but unfortunately we’ll have to wait a little longer to harvest at Mocrocks,” said Bryce Blumenthal, a WDFW coastal shellfish biologist. “Domoic acid toxicity levels remain elevated on the other beaches that will open, and ocean conditions can change quickly. For that reason, diggers should continually check our website before digging to confirm that beaches remain open as we continue to closely test and monitor the situation.”
Domoic acid levels at Mocrocks have exceeded the health guidelines set by the Washington Department of Health (WDOH) officials for safe consumption, so that beach remains closed to clamming at this time. Domoic acid, a natural toxin produced by certain types of marine algae, can be harmful or fatal if consumed in sufficient quantities. WDFW shellfish staff will continue to regularly dig test samples of razor clams to monitor the situation. WDOH requires two test samples taken seven to 10 days apart, must fall under the health guideline level before a beach can reopen for razor clam digging.
The following digs during evening (p.m.) low tides will proceed as scheduled, after marine toxin results from the WDOH showed razor clams are safe to eat:
- 29, Friday; 7:18 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors
- 30, Saturday; 8:04 p.m.; -0.9 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis
- 1, Sunday, 8:49 p.m.; -1.0 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors
- 2, Monday, 9:36 p.m.; -0.9 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis
