Phytoplankton Update (August 9th – August 15th)

August 16, 2019 by Jasmine Maurer

We have the results in from our wild shellfish toxin testing program! The blue mussels collected from Homer Harbor on 8/9/2019 came in below the regulatory limit for saxitoxins. KBNERR is not a regulatory agency and harvesting wild shellfish in Alaska is considered ‘dig at your own risk’. All commercially harvested shellfish are regulated by the DEC and considered safe for consumption.
