Heavy rains that moved across the southeast late last week
have forced the Department of Agriculture to close a portion of the
Apalachicola Bay to oyster harvesting.
The Department of Agriculture closed the conditionally
approved oyster harvesting area 1612 at sunset Sunday after the Apalachicola
River level at Blountstown topped 13 feet.
The affected area is closest to the mouth of the river just
west of the river channel.
There is generally a 2 day lag between river levels at
Blountstown and Apalachicola.
The river level has already started to fall again.
