NotesThis report was intended as an internal document for Shellfish Program staff. Once again, Netarts Bay produced most of the commercially caught mud shrimp for the Oregon baitfish industry, with 49,734 lbs. landed, for 95.2% of the total catch. Recreational clamming may have gotten a break when "the main highway between Tillamook and Portland was blocked by a landslide for several months which may have reduced overall effort in Tillamook, Netarts, and Nehalem Bays."
