Shellfish in Your Front Yard
Saturdays

May 24 – Port of Allyn meeting room, 18560 E State Route 3, Allyn
June 21 – Brinnon Community Center, 306144 N Highway 101, Brinnon
July 19 – Skookum Hall, 3480 SE Lynch Road, Shelton

Washington Sea Grant announces three opportunities to learn about cultivating and harvesting shellfish on your beach, for fun or profit. Participants will learn about the biology of bivalve shellfish, which shellfish grow best on their beach type and various methods for enhancing their tidelands with clams, oysters and mussels. Each workshop will also focus on ways to protect the quality of our waters so that any shellfish harvested will be safe to eat. Workshop instructors include local shellfish farmers and Washington Sea Grant staff. The first half of each workshop is lecture-style, with the afternoon spent on the beach, reviewing different culture methods. Bring a sack lunch and your boots.

One-on-one technical assistance will also be offered to participants of the class, as part of the Bivalves for Clean Water program.*

Pre-registration is required. To register or for more information:
