    Clallam County Department of Health and Human Services Environmental Health Services 111 E 3rd Street Port Angeles, WA 98362 Phone: 360-417-2258 Fax: 360-452-9795 PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release November 25, 2019 Port Angeles, Washington – the Clallam County Department of Health and Human Services, Environmental Health Division announces an upgrade to recreational shellfish harvest of beaches that were previously closed to all species due to the presence of biotoxins. In Clallam County, Discovery Bay is closed to butter and varnish clams only. The following beaches in Clallam County are listed with the closure in effect. Beaches Status Strait of Juan de Fuca from Cape Flattery east to Pillar Point No Closure Strait of Juan de Fuca from Pillar Point east to Dungeness Spit No Closure Dungeness Bay No Closure Sequim Bay Closed to All Species Discovery Bay Closed to Butter and Varnish clams only Seasonal Closure of Ocean Beaches All Species Closed All species means clams (including geoduck), oysters, mussels and other invertebrates such as the moon snail. All areas are closed for the sport harvest of scallops. These closures do not apply to shrimp. Crab meat is not known to contain biotoxins, but the guts can contain unsafe levels. To be safe, clean crab thoroughly and discard the guts (butter). It is important to know the difference between butter clams and other species of clams. Butter clams have the ability to retain toxins for a very long time—up to a year or more. Areas may be closed for the sport harvest of butter clams when all other species are safe and open.
