A2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, APRIL 29, 2019 Season fi nale among busiest Washington clam digs ever Chinook Observer LONG BEACH, Wash. — The razor clam dig on April 20 was the biggest in at least a decade, according to an analysis by the Wash- ington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “The Saturday crowd is the largest one-day total for at least the last 10 years — and likely much longer — whew!” Dan Ayres, the state coastal shellfi sh man- ager, said after looking at the statistics. More than half a million clams were harvested over the weekend, which coin- cided with the Long Beach Razor Clam Festival, a long Easter holiday, and nearly ideal weather and tides. The state estimates 19,507 diggers participated Saturday and 14,268 Sun- day. The average number of clams harvested per dig- ger was a perfect limit of 15 Saturday and 14.6 Sunday. After a preseason cen- sus last summer found that 81 percent of clams in p en- insula sands were less than 3 inches in length, the Depart- ment of Fish and Wildlife decided on a constrained harvest . In the end, there were only four days of dig- ging — Dec. 22, Feb. 17 and the April weekend. Although the state thinks only about 4,000 clams were One dead after crash on U.S. Highway 26 The Daily Astorian One person was killed after driving into a power pole near milepost 7 on harvested in the December dig, the season total came to more than 614,500, thanks to the huge total in April. This ended up far exceed- ing the quota of 333,557 set before the season. The agency’s summer 2018 census found fewer than 2.1 million adult clams. However, nearly 10 million small clams were estimated to be making their way to being 3 inches or more in length — a 52-fold increase from the 2017-18 count. “These small clams will be closer to 4 to 4.5 inches by next fall ( the 2019-20 season) and make diggers much happier,” Ayres said at the time. The Clatsop County Democrats are holding a candidate forum Saturday for contested races with the Clatsop Community College Board and Port of Astoria Commission. The fi rst panel of can- didates includes incum- bent Andrea Mazzarella and challenger Sara Meyer, running for the same posi- tion on the college board.

Questions will be taken from the audience. The forum begins at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Bob Chisholm Commu- nity Center, 1225 Ave. A in Seaside.
