Calling all bay admirers and clam lovers! Would you like to learn more about the different types of clams in Netarts Bay? Are you new to clamming and looking for some tips? Do you love to clam but rather not go alone?
Join Friends of Netarts Bay, Watershed, Estuary, Beach and Sea (WEBS), and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Sunday, April 19th, meet time, 8 a.m., at the Netarts Bay View Point on Whiskey Creek Rd. for an informative day on the bay, learning about sustainable shellfish harvesting. “Participants will not only enjoy a relaxing, hands-on experience and take home their fresh catch to cook and enjoy, but also take away a whole lot of knowledge on bay clam populations, estuarine habitat, and sustainable harvesting tips,” shares WEBS Stewardship Coordinator Marina Dreeben. Both new and experienced clammers will have a chance to learn alongside ODFW and WEBS staff/volunteers. Space is limited, and all participants should purchase and bring their Oregon Shellfish License.
Registration is required for this free event.
