Public Notification of Shellfish Area Closures
Effective July 18th, 2008, and in accordance with Public Law 2008 Chapter 692, the Department of Marine Resources (DMR) will no longer be posting advertisements in newspapers notifying the public of shellfish harvesting area openings or closings. This will apply to all notices related to any changes of area classifications that may result from bacteriological pollution and/or Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (Red Tide).
