ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) — A portion of the Oregon coast has been reopened for razor clam harvest after it was closed because of shellfish toxin levels.
The Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have reopened the area from Tillamook Head south to Cascade Head.
Shellfish samples taken from the area indicate levels of the marine toxin domoic acid have dropped below the alert level.
Recreational razor clamming remains closed on the Oregon coast from Tillamook Head north to the mouth of the Columbia River and from Cascade Head south to Bandon.
