SUSTAINABLE CLAMMING ON THE BAY
Space is limited. A shellfish license is required.
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, Estuary, Beach and Sea – WEBS, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Saturday, May 31st for an informative day on the bay, learning about sustainable shellfish harvesting. “Not only will participants gain insights into sustainable clamming practices, they will also learn more about ODFW’s research on bay clam populations and estuarine habitat studies” shares WEBS Stewardship Coordinator Marina Dreeben. In addition to discussing current research, participants will discuss the role of shellfish in bay health, the types of clams in the bay, and the best, most sustainable methods for harvesting wild shellfish. Both new and experienced clammers will have a chance to learn alongside ODFW and WEBS staff/volunteers. Clammers can count on gaining knowledge and collecting their limit with a fun group of community members.
This popular WEBS event fills up quickly but we do have last minute cancellations so feel free to sign up and add your name to the waitlist in case spots become available, or email info@netartsbaywebs.org to volunteer as a photographer, on-shore support, or clamming expert! If you are not able to attend the Sustainable Clamming on the Bay this May, be sure and check our calendar to register for our next clamming event coming up in August.
