NEWPORT, Ore. – July 15 is the beginning of the annual conservation closure on the Clatsop beaches to protect young razor clams.
Since 1967, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has closed the 18 miles of beaches north of Tillamook Head. For many years the closure went from July 15 to Aug. 31, but in 1997 it was extended to Sept. 30. The closure is to ensure that young, newly-set clams can establish themselves on the beach.
