Razor Clam Season Wraps Up

With one of the strongest populations seen in the past 25 years.

The coastal razor clam season wrapped up this past weekend in what’s being called a very memorable season with one of the strongest populations seen in the past 25 years. The state department of fish and wildlife offered a total of 120 calendar digging days from Sept. 17 through May 7 on all open beaches.  Officials say it was one for the record books with nearly 8.4 million clams harvested taken in just over 484,000 diggers trips.  The state will also have a comment period around the end of August to accept public feedback on this season.
