Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) shellfish managers have tentatively scheduled additional razor clam digging dates at Mocrocks and Copalis beaches.

“After reopening harvest on Copalis and Mocrocks since late January, we are delighted to announce tentative digs at both beaches for the remainder of March,” said Bryce Blumenthal, WDFW coastal shellfish biologist. “Marine toxin levels on Long Beach and Twin Harbors are still too high for reopening, but we’re hopeful that digging will return to one or both of those beaches before April.”

Final approval of remaining tentative openings in March is dependent on marine toxin test results.

The following tentative digs during evening (p.m.) low tides are scheduled:

March 3, Friday, 4:31 PM; 0.6 feet; Mocrocks

March 4, Saturday, 5:09 PM; 0.4 feet; Copalis

March 5, Sunday, 5:42 PM; 0.2 feet; Mocrocks
