Episode 36: Razor Clams

If you live in Oregon, you're probably already familiar with razor clams. One of the most popular, family-friendly recreational activities on the coast, razor clamming is a fun tradition today and the clams have been an important food source on the coast for thousands of years. ODFW Shellfish Project Management Leader Matt Hunter talks about razor clam biology, management and about increasing biotoxin closures in recent years in this episode.
