A section of water in Washington state’s Grays Harbor County has been closed off to shellfish harvest after high levels of bacteria were discovered in the area.
The Washington State Department of Health announced Tuesday that waters near Ocean Shores, WA would be closed permanently for the next year, and 11 other harvest areas have been marked as “threatened.”
In threatened areas, levels of fecal bacteria are reaching the health department’s safety threshold, and are in danger of rising above it.
