Medford, OR – According to the state officials, razor clamming is open from Seal Rock to the north jetty of the Siuslaw River.
State officials announced that the recent samples show levels of the marine biotoxin domoic acid have dropped below the closure limit.
Razor clamming remains closed from Tillamook Head to Seal Rock, and from south of the Siuslaw River to the California border for elevated levels of the marine biotoxin domoic acid.
Crab ,mussel and bay clam harvesting remain open along the entire Oregon coast. Oregon Department of Agriculture will continue to test for shellfish toxins twice per month, as tides and weather permit.
Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive tests with results below the closure limit.
