The Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announce the reopening of recreational mussel harvesting from Bastendorf Beach near Charleston to the mouth of the Columbia River.
Shellfish samples taken last week indicate levels of paralytic shellfish toxins have dropped below the alert level. The entire coast had been closed to recreational harvesting of mussels since Oct. 23. Recreational mussel harvesting remains closed south of Bastendorf Beach to the California border. Coastal scallops are not affected by the current closure when only the adductor muscle is eaten. The consumption of whole recreationally harvested scallops is not recommended. Crab and oysters are not affected by this level of toxin and are safe to eat. Razor clamming along the Oregon coast remains open.
