January 3, 2014

Action: Opens sport clam season.

Effective date: Immediately through March 15, 2014

Species affected: All clams

Location: Point Whitney Lagoon. This beach is located in Jefferson County, near Brinnon.

Reason for action: Surveys indicate that the clam population on this beach has decreased, requiring an earlier season that will attract fewer harvesters.
