A 6-day razor clam dig has been approved starting Jan. 21 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Mocrocks, according to the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“Weather and surf during our last opener dissuaded many from participating,” said Dan Ayres, state coastal shellfish manager. “The good news is that this means there are still a great many clams out there for this and future digs.”

The approved dig is for the following dates, low tides and beaches:

• Jan. 21, Tuesday, 4:23 pm -0.1 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks

• Jan. 22, Wednesday, 5:10 pm -0.5 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis

• Jan. 23, Thursday, 5:53 pm -0.6 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks

• Jan. 24, Friday, 6:32 pm -0.6 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis

• Jan. 25, Saturday, 7:08 pm -0.5 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks

• Jan. 26, Sunday, 7:42 pm -0.3 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis

No digging is allowed before noon for allowed digs, when low tide occurs in the evening.

A list of proposed razor clam digs on Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis and Mocrocks beaches through February is available online at https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfishing-regulations/razor-clams. Ayres said additional tentative razor clam digs for March and later will be announced in early February.

Fish and Wildlife authorizes each dig independently after getting the results of marine toxin testing. Final approval of the tentatively scheduled openings will depend on whether results of marine toxin tests show the clams are safe to eat.
