Join the Friends of Fort Flagler to explore and harvest our local clams at the lower campground of Fort Flagler next to the Beachcomber Café. We will identify local shellfish, discuss the common harvest tools and how to use them, how to read a tide table book and why! How to care for your catch after harvest and finally a few suggested ways to prepare them.
What should folks bring? (shovel, rake, gloves) #2 shovel-long handle, tined garden scratcher, separate small or medium size bucket (each digger must have their own container), gloves--rubber garden gloves are best but not required, shellfish license if over 16 years old. For Fishing License in Washington State, the age limit for residents is 16 to 69 years. For Youth, they must be 15 years of age. And For senior citizens, the age limit is 70 and above. There are special reduced-fee licenses for disabled residents and non-resident disabled veterans. A one or three day license might suffice for some folks if they don't plan to shellfish again.
PS--ALL nonresidents must have a license regardless of age.
