SHELLFISH
All northwest coastal areas are open for shellfish except razor clams. The razor clam season at Clatsop County beaches ( Seaside north to the Columbia River ) is closed to razor clam harvest through Sept. 30. Call the Oregon Department of Agriculture’s shellfish hotline at 503-986-4728 for updates. No oysters may be taken.
A recreational shellfish license is now required for everyone over 14 when harvesting marine abalone, clams, crabs, mussels, piddocks, scallops, shrimp and sand shrimp, and other marine invertebrates with shells. No license is needed to harvest crayfish or freshwater clams.
