🦪🌊 A gentle reminder for those who dig and harvest

Our clams and oysters have always fed our families and connected us to the water. As we head out to dig and harvest, the Marine Division wants to help ensure members are doing it safely!

There is a free app you can now use called "Can U Dig It" Developed by Q’ul-lhanumutsun Aquatic Resources Society (QARS) that can help show where it’s safe to harvest clams and oysters, and which species are okay to take.

📲 We encourage all harvesters to download Can U Dig It before heading out on the water or shoreline. Let’s continue to care for our waters and one another. 💙
