Shellfish enhancement began on Squaxin Island on August 28th, with Manila clam seed being spread on one of our island beaches. With the recent addition of a new position to lead the enhancement portion of the Shellfish Department, this seeding event was a successful start for new beach manager Daniel Kuntz. This enhancement program is funded by the Shellfish Growers Settlement. Much more Manila clam seeding is planned for this summer and fall.
