Three days of razor clam digging on Copalis Beach only starts Saturday, Jan. 21

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) today shellfish managers confirmed razor clam digging reopens at Copalis Beach only on Saturday, Jan. 21, followed by additional opportunities on Jan. 23 and Jan. 25.

"We know this is short notice but promised to open any beach as soon as we had good results and those able participate will have some excellent digging," said Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager. "We'll continue to closely monitor toxin levels in razor clams and hope to get Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Mocrocks reopened as soon as clams are safe to eat."

The following digs during evening (p.m.) low tides will proceed as scheduled:

• Jan. 21, Saturday, 6:23 p.m.; -1.8 feet; Copalis only

• Jan. 23, Monday, 7:52 p.m.; -1.6 feet; Copalis only

• Jan. 25, Wednesday, 9:16 p.m.; -0.2 feet; Copalis only

The Washington Department of Health (WDOH) labs indicate domoic acid levels at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, and Mocrocks beaches were still above the health guideline levels.
