The DOH requires check samples for marine toxins, and domoic acid ranges should fall below the rule stage earlier than a seashore can open for digging. Domoic acid, a pure toxin produced by sure sorts of marine algae, could be dangerous or deadly if consumed in ample portions. Remaining approval often happens a couple of week or much less earlier than the beginning of every digging collection. Extra details about domoic acid, in addition to present ranges at ocean seashores, could 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 saved in a separate container, and all diggers should preserve the primary 15 clams they dig, no matter measurement or situation, to forestall waste.

All diggers age 15 or older should have an relevant fishing license to reap razor clams on any seashore. Licenses could 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.
