| Shellfish safety hotline |
|
The Oregon Department of Agriculture's shellfish safety hotline is toll free and provides the most current information regarding shellfish safety closures. The ODA Web pages may not be updated as quickly as the shellfish safety hotline. Please call the shellfish safety hotline before harvesting.
Shellfish safety hotline: 503-986-4728 or 1-800-448-2474 toll free.

|
| Recreational shellfish harvesting status as of 1/29/10 |
|
- All recreational and commercial shellfish harvesting is open on the entire Oregon Coast, from the California border to the Columbia River.
- The consumption of whole recreationally harvested scallops is not recommended. However, coastal scallops are not affected by toxins when only the adductor muscle is eaten.
- Domoic acid results continue to be in the safe range.
- Harmful algae bloom monitoring: No harmful algae reported
Please note: The shellfish safety hotline is updated immediately when shellfish toxins reach the alert level. The hotline is your best source for up-to-date shellfish beach closure information. This Web page is updated soon after. For your safety, call the hotline before harvesting shellfish in Oregon.
This Web page provides an update of on-going shellfish safety closures on the Oregon Coast. This information will be updated monthly, or when there are new closures, openings, significant changes in shellfish toxin levels, or other events of interest to harvesters.

|
| What are shellfish safety closures? |
|
Shellfish can be contaminated by natural events such as harmful algae blooms (HABs) or man-made events such as sewage spills. The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) jointly issue shellfish safety closures to protect recreational shellfish harvesters from consuming clams or mussels contaminated with harmful biotoxins. However, because recreational shellfishing areas are not monitored for fecal coliform, ODA recommends you thoroughly cook all recreationally harvested shellfish prior to consumption.
Marine biotoxins -- paralytic shellfish toxins (PST) and domoic acid, are the most common reasons for shellfish closures in Oregon coastal waters. Biotoxins can cause mild to severe health problems for consumers. Visit one of the Web sites below for more information about marine biotoxins.

More information about Oregon’s shellfish resources
Commercial shellfish for human consumption, including oysters, clams and mussels, is part of the ODA Food Safety Division and the US Food and Drug Administration inspection and sampling programs. If you think you have become ill from consuming shellfish (commercially or recreationally harvested) seek medical assistance and contact your local county health department to report your illness.

|
|
| PST sample results below the alert level |
|
Recent shellfish samples indicate levels of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are below the alert level throughout the Oregon Coast. The entire Oregon Coast is open to recreational and commercial razor clam harvesting.
Coastal scallops are not affected by PST when only the adductor muscle is eaten. The consumption of whole recreationally harvested scallops is not recommended.
Shellfish samples are collected regularly, as tides, weather, and surf allow. Warm ocean waters and calm seas are favorable conditions for a bloom of algae that produces PST. A shellfish safety closure is issued immediately if PST levels rise above the alert level of 80 micrograms per 100 grams. For the most current information please check the shellfish safety hotline: (1-800-448-2474).
Shellfish contaminated with PST can cause minor to severe illness or even death. PST cannot be destroyed by cooking, by adding baking soda, or by any other method of processing. PST symptoms usually begin with tingling of the mouth and tongue. Severe poisoning can result in dizziness, numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, paralysis of the arms and legs, and paralysis of the muscles used for breathing. PST(s) are produced by algae and usually originate in the ocean.
|
|
|
| Domoic acid results continue in safe range |
|
Domoic acid, the other shellfish toxin monitored for shellfish safety, continues to test below the alert level in shellfish along the entire Oregon coast.
Shellfish samples are collected regularly, as tides, weather, and surf allow. A shellfish safety closure is issued immediately if domoic acid levels rise above the alert level of 20ppm. For the most current information please check the shellfish safety hotline: (1-800-448-2474).
Domoic acid is a naturally occurring toxin produced by marine phytoplankton or algae. Eating shellfish contaminated with domoic acid can cause minor illness within minutes or hours after consumption. The toxin is not destroyed by cooking, by adding baking soda, or by any other method of processing. In mild cases, symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and headache. More severe cases can result in memory problems and even death.
|
|
|
| Commercial razor clam harvesting |
|
The Oregon Coast is open to all commercial and recreational razor clam harvesting, from the California border to the mouth of the Columbia River.
Commercial harvest of razor clams for human consumption is limited to Clatsop Beach. ODA has authority to restrict the distribution of shellfish sold by commercial processors and will halt distribution if sampling indicates that clams are above the alert level for either biotoxin (20 parts per million (ppm) for domoic acid and 80 micrograms per 100 grams for PST). People are more likely to suffer illness from eating shellfish with high levels of biotoxins. Harvest controls are implemented when biotoxins reach the alert level, thereby reducing the risk to consumers. Shellfish samples are collected regularly, as tides, weather, and surf allow.
|
|
|
| Harmful algae bloom monitoring |
|
ODA and ODFW monitor for the toxigenic alga or plankton that produces domoic acid and PST. Zach Forster, phytoplankton sampling coordinator with the ODFW, reported on December 3, 2009 that they have not seen Alexandrium or Pseudo-nitzschia in shore side water samples for some time.
Recreational shellfish harvesters are reminded new algae blooms may require a shellfish safety closure with little warning. After closing an area, it cannot be reopened until there are two consecutive sets of samples with results below the alert level. History has shown domoic acid or PST levels in clams or mussels can double in less than five days. The public should stay alert for changes in the status of all shellfish harvesting areas.
Harvesters should check this Web site and the shellfish information hotline regularly to determine if the area they want to harvest from is open. Shellfish harvesting areas are closed to all harvesting when toxins exceed the alert level. The alert levels are 20 ppm for domoic acid and 80 micrograms per 100 grams for paralytic shellfish toxins (PST). People are more likely to suffer illness from eating shellfish with high levels of biotoxins. Harvest controls are implemented when biotoxins reach the alert level, thereby reducing the risk to consumers. Shellfish samples are collected regularly, as tides, weather, and surf allow.
Check with ODFW regarding recreational shellfish licenses and shellfish protection areas.
