More oyster areas close after tropical storm

A portion of the Apalachicola Bay is closed to Oyster harvesting today after heavy rains from Tropical Storm Claudette drenched our area Sunday. The Department of Agriculture closed the conditionally approved Summer south area of the bay at sunset Monday. That’s area 1662. On Sunday the conditionally approved North area of the bay was closed. That is area 1652. Both areas will remain closed to oyster harvesting while biologists test water quality at the sites.
