Area 1652 reopening to oyster harvesting on Friday

Area 1652 of the Apalachicola Bay will reopen to oyster harvesting on Friday morning.

Area 1652 is the conditionally Approved Summer North Shellfish Harvesting Area.

The area was closed on Tuesday because of heavy rains, but biologists say samples taken from the area show that water quality is fine for oyster harvesting at this time.

Even though the area is open to oyster harvesting Friday, oystermen aren’t allowed to harvest on Fridays and Saturdays during the summer season but they will be able to work there beginning Sunday morning.
