OREGON DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE RECREATIONAL SHELLFISH ALERT 9/26/25: Mussel Harvesting Closes On The Central and Northern Oregon Coast

Posted on September 26, 2025 by Editor

The Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announce a new shellfish closure.

All harvest of mussels has closed from the Columbia River to the north jetty of the Siuslaw River in Florence for elevated levels of paralytic shellfish toxin. Mussel harvesting continues to be closed from Cape Blanco to the California border. Mussel harvesting remains open from the south jetty of the Siuslaw River to Cape Blanco.

Razor clamming is closed from the Washington border to Tillamook Head at Seaside for the annual conservation closure, and from Cape Blanco to the California border. Razor clamming remains open between Tillamook Head and Cape Blanco. Bay clamming and crabbing is open along the entire Oregon coast.

Oregon Department of Agriculture will continue to test for shellfish toxins weekly, as tides and weather permit. Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive tests with results below the closure limit. Contact Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for recreational license requirements, permits, rules and limits.

For more information call Oregon Department of Agriculture’s (ODA) shellfish biotoxin safety hotline at (800) 448-2474, the Food Safety Shellfish Desk at (503) 986-4726, or visit the ODA recreational shellfish biotoxin closures webpage.

26/9/25: La recolección de mejillones esta cerrada en la costa central y norte de Oregón

El Departamento de Agricultura de Oregón y el Departamento de Pesca y Vida Silvestre de Oregón anuncian un nuevo cierre de mariscos.

Se ha cerrado la pesca de mejillones desde el río Columbia hasta el embarcadero norte del río Siuslaw en Florence debido a niveles elevados de toxina paralizante. La pesca de mejillones continúa cerrada desde Cabo Blanco hasta la frontera con California. La pesca de mejillones permanece abierta desde el embarcadero sur del río Siuslaw hasta Cabo Blanco.

La pesca de navajas está cerrada desde la frontera con Washington hasta Tillamook Head en Seaside para el cierre anual de conservación, y desde Cabo Blanco hasta la frontera con California. La pesca de navajas permanece abierta entre Tillamook Head y Cabo Blanco. La pesca de almejas de bahía y cangrejos está abierta a lo largo de toda la costa de Oregón.

El Departamento de Agricultura de Oregón seguirá realizando pruebas de toxinas en mariscos semanalmente, según lo permitan las mareas y el clima. Para reabrir un área cerrada por biotoxinas se requieren dos pruebas consecutivas con resultados por debajo del límite de cierre. Comuníquese con el Departamento de Pesca y Vida Silvestre de Oregón para obtener información sobre los requisitos, permisos, reglas y límites de licencias recreativas.

Para obtener más información, llame a la línea directa de seguridad de biotoxinas en mariscos del Departamento de Agricultura de Oregón (ODA) al (800) 448-2474, al Servicio de Seguridad Alimentaria de Mariscos al (503) 986-4726 o visite la página web de cierres de mariscos recreativos por biotoxinas del ODA.
