The Department of Agriculture will reopen oyster harvesting area 1612 at
sunrise on Wednesday.
Area 1612 is the
conditionally approved Winter West Shellfish Harvest Area – it includes the
Green Point Bar.
That area was closed in mid-November because of heavy rains.
The Department of Agriculture says recent samples show water quality in
the area is once again suitable for oyster harvesting.
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.
