Watch Alaska Wildlife Alliance's free Wildlife Wednesday presentation by Alaska Department of Fish & Game's Division of Sport Fish area management biologists, Mike Booz and Holly Dickson, to learn what's happening with East Cook Inlet razor clams, with an update on the stock since the 2015 closure.
Holly and Mike will show how ADF&G conducts surveys on the beaches each year to gather data on the abundance, growth, and survival of these razor clams. They will also provide an update on the abundance of razor clams on the East Cook Inlet beaches in recent years, and will describe some of the other factors influencing clam populations, including annual survival and growth rates. And finally, they’ll discuss what a fishery for East Cook Inlet razor clams might look like when the beaches are-open.
