Heavy rains close portions of Apalachicola Bay


Heavy rains over the weekend have forced the closure of portions of the Apalachicola Bay.

Apalachicola Bay area 1642 closed at sunset Tuesday, area 1612 closed on Monday.

Both area were closed because of too much rainfall.

State biologists will continue to take water samples from the sites and will reopen the areas when the sample results conform to the management plan.
Oystermen can get daily bay status updates on the internet at www.FloridaAquaculture.com under the shellfish harvesting tab. 
You can also hear a detailed pre-recorded message of open and closed shellfish harvest areas 24 hours a day by calling 653-8317.
