Area 1612 to reopen to Oyster harvesting

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
