Razor clam digs at Long Beach and Twin Harbors have been approved starting Saturday after tests revealed the clams were safe to eat, announced the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Concerns about marine toxin levels had these digs on hold while others at Copalis and Mocrocks beaches had been approved earlier this week. Testing conducted by the Department of Health Thursday showed domoic acid levels were low enough for the digs to go ahead, said Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager.

“The health and safety of clam diggers is always our first concern, so we appreciate people’s patience while we worked with our partners at WDOH to confirm that these clams are safe to eat,” Ayres said. “We hope that everyone is able to get out and enjoy safe, productive digs at these beaches.”
