Sustainable Clamming on Netarts Bay

SUSTAINABLE CLAMMING ON THE BAY 

Space is limited. A shellfish license is required.

Calling all bay admirers and clam lovers! Would you like to learn more about the different types of clams in Netarts Bay?  Are you new to clamming and looking for some tips? Do you love to clam but rather not go alone?

Join Friends of Netarts Bay, Estuary, Beach and Sea – WEBS, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Monday, August 11th for an informative day on the bay, learning about sustainable shellfish harvesting. “Participants will walk away with their catch limit of clams and a whole lot of knowledge on bay clam populations, estuarine habitat, and sustainable harvesting” shares WEBS Stewardship Coordinator Marina Dreeben. Both new and experienced clammers will have a chance to learn alongside ODFW and WEBS staff/volunteers. 

Registration is required for this free event. Learn more at: https://www.netartsbaywebs.org/events
