The Department of Agriculture will reopen oyster harvesting areas 1612 and 1622 at sunrise Friday.

Area 1612 is the conditionally approved Winter West Shellfish Harvest Area – it includes the Green Point Bar.

Area 1622 is the conditionally approved winter west 2 area which includes Dry Bar.

The areas have been closed since mid-April because of high river levels.

The river levels are back to normal and recent water samples show water quality in the two areas is acceptable for oyster harvesting
