SHELLFISH
All recreational and commercial shellfish harvesting south of the jetties at Coos Bay to the California border has been closed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture due to elevated levels of paralytic shellfish poisoning. This closure includes clams and mussels on the beaches, rocks and jetties. All bays in Coos and Curry counties remain open to clamming, except for the harvest of razor clams which remains closed on the Oregon coast. Always check for health advisories by calling the Oregon Department of Agriculture’s shellfish hotline at 503-986-4728 for updates.
Crabbing from public piers in Port Orford and Brookings should be good when ocean conditions are fair.
