Shellfish Closures Question
« on: June 15, 2015, 08:09:43 PM »
With all the shellfish closures throughout the state due to red tide, does this include crab? I would think so (I'm not risking that) but thought I'd ask..

It did include the area around and in the Columbia River.  As far as I have heard people are catching and eating the crab in 13 without a problem

This says that the SW coast crab closure is the first since 2003 because of red tide toxins.

This is the area I'm asking about actually. This says "all species".

A team of federal biologists set out from Oregon Monday to survey what could be the largest toxic algae bloom ever recorded off the West Coast.

The effects stretch from Central California to British Columbia, and possibly as far north as Alaska. Dangerous levels of the natural toxin domoic acid have shut down recreational and commercial shellfish harvests in Washington, Oregon and California this spring, including the lucrative Dungeness crab fishery off Washington’s southern coast and the state’s popular razor-clam season.....
