Discovery Bay closes to shellfish harvesting

Discovery Bay is closed to all species for recreational shellfish harvesting, Clallam County health officials said on March 22.

Sequim Bay is closed to butter and varnish clams only, while the Strait of Juan de Fuca — from Cape Flattery to the Jefferson County line, including Dungeness Bay — is open. Pacific Ocean beaches are closed to all species.

Closed to all species means clams (including geoduck), oysters, mussels and other invertebrates such as the moon snail, according to the Clallam County Department of Health and Human Services’ Environmental Health Division. All areas are closed for the sport harvest of scallops. These closures do not apply to shrimp.
