MEDFORD, Ore. — Sport and commercial crabbing are now open along the entire Oregon Coast after tests showed levels of the biotoxin domoic acid have dropped to acceptable levels in Dungeness crab.
Tests on Dungeness south of Port Orford showed low enough levels of domoic acid to allow sport and commercial crabbers along the South Coast to join the rest of Oregon crabbers. Now the ocean, bays and estuaries are all open for sport crabbers in Oregon.
