Notes | "In February 1961 Tillamook County began building a boat basin over one of the best and most accessible clam beds in Netarts Bay." Dredging on the site was done with a "3-yard drag-line bucket," which damaged dredged clams so badly that salvage was impossible. "The Tillamook County Court was asked to inform the Fish Commission in the future of any construction projects involving estuaries well in advance of the actual start of construction." (p.4) |
