Hello Everyone,
This week we have results to share from our wild shellfish toxin testing program. Blue mussels collected from Homer Harbor on 8/10/2020 were below the regulatory limit for saxitoxins, the toxin that can lead to Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP).
Commercially harvested shellfish are regulated by Alaska DEC and considered safe for consumption.
