OLYMPIA — Razor clam digging is open today through Sunday, alternating between Mocrocks and Copalis beaches.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife approved the four days of digging — the first of the season on morning tides — after marine toxin tests showed the clams are safe to eat.
Long Beach and Twin Harbors remain closed, because they have not met state testing requirements for marine toxins, said Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for the agency.
The clams must test with fewer than 20 parts per million of domoic acid, a natural marine toxin, on two consecutive samplings before harvest is allowed.
