Razor clam digs on Washington seashores authorised for seven days starting Nov. 13

WashingtonRazor clam digs on Washington seashores authorised for seven days starting Nov. 13

Washington Division of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) shellfish managers confirmed razor clam digging alternatives on 4 Washington coastal seashores for the approaching week.

“With some of the lowest tides of the fall season and Thanksgiving just around the corner, this next tide series beginning Nov. 13 is your last and best chance to dig razor clams for the holiday dinner table,” mentioned Bryce Blumenthal, a WDFW coastal shellfish biologist. “More tentative digs are also planned to begin the day after Thanksgiving for those who want to get outdoors and avoid the Black Friday mall madness.”

Not all coastal seashores are open for each dig, so diggers are inspired to ensure their meant vacation spot is open earlier than heading out. No digging is allowed earlier than midday throughout digs when low tide happens within the afternoon or night. Most profitable digging happens between one and two hours earlier than the listed time of low tide.

The next digs throughout night (p.m.) low tides will proceed as scheduled, after marine toxin outcomes from the Washington Division of Well being (DOH) confirmed razor clams are suitable for eating:

The DOH requires take a look at samples for marine toxins, and domoic acid ranges should fall beneath the rule stage earlier than a seashore can open for digging. Remaining approval normally happens a few week or much less – generally two to 3 days – earlier than the beginning of every digging sequence.

Extra details about domoic acid, in addition to present ranges at ocean seashores, may be discovered on the WDFW’s domoic acid webpage.

On all open seashores, the every day restrict is 15 clams per particular person. Every digger’s clams have to be stored in a separate container, and all diggers should maintain the primary 15 clams they dig, no matter dimension or situation, to stop waste.

All diggers age 15 or older should have an relevant fishing license to reap razor clams on any seashore. Licenses may be bought from WDFW’s licensing web site, and from tons of of license distributors across the state. WDFW recommends shopping for your license earlier than visiting coastal seashore communities.

The 2024-25 Razor Clam Administration Plan is out there on the WDFW’s web site. For extra data, go to the WDFW’s razor clam webpage.
