Final razor clam dig of season gets
go-ahead on two ocean beaches
Action: Open razor clam season
Effective date: May 4 through May 6, 2007
Species affected: Razor clams
Location:
· Long Beach, from the Columbia River north jetty to Leadbetter Point.
· Twin Harbors, from the south jetty at the mouth of Grays Harbor south to the mouth of Willapa Bay.
Twin Harbors will open for digging on morning tides May 4, joined by Long Beach May 5 and 6. Each day?s dig on those beaches must be completed by noon.
Reason for action: Marine toxins tests found that clams on these beaches are safe to eat.
Other Information: Diggers must carry a valid 2007-08 fishing license to participate in the upcoming opening. Harvesters may take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 taken, regardless of size or condition. Each digger?s limit must be kept in a separate container.
