Problem is that those ya hoos sell those contaminated clams to restaurants right here in our city. There have been sting operations and hidden cameras recording the back door sales especially in China Town..beware of the Clam Chop Suey....Also WDFW agents have told me that Geoduck are poached using boats with holes in their bottoms so the divers can enter and exit undetected. Then there is the geoduck wasting that the tribes got busted for..dumping the big bivalves that were the wrong color and only keeping the ones that bring the highest price...of course the ones they discard overboard die. The problem is not just a bunch of hillbillies harvesting clams in the sewage outfalls at night anymore...poaching can be and is a lot more sophisticated sometimes and takes time and patience to stop. By the way..don't forget there is a cash reward for reporting a poacher.
