Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, this decision follows two consecutive tests showing biotoxin levels below the closure limit in this area.

While this section is now open, mussel harvest remains closed from Cape Lookout to the Coos Bay north jetty due to high levels of the marine biotoxin paralytic shellfish poison (PSP).

Additionally, razor clamming continues to be closed from Yachats to Coos Bay because of elevated PSP and domoic acid levels.

Current Harvest Closures and Openings:

Razor Clams:

  • Open from the Washington border to the Yachats River.
    • Note: Clatsop beaches will close at 12:01 a.m. on July 15 for conservation.
  • Closed from the Yachats River to the Coos Bay north jetty.
  • Open from the Coos Bay north jetty to the California border.

Bay Clams:

  • Open coastwide.

Mussels:

  • Open from the Washington border to Cape Lookout.
  • Closed from Cape Lookout to the Coos Bay north jetty.
  • Open from the Coos Bay south jetty to the California border.

Crab:

  • Open coastwide.

For the latest updates and to ensure safety, it is recommended to call the Shellfish Safety Hotline at 1-800-448-2474 before harvesting shellfish. Additional information is available on the ODA Recreational Shellfish Biotoxin Closures Webpage.
