Biologists are hitting the beaches to count clams. Fish and Game will use the counts to decide if there are enough to reopen sport and personal-use clamming in Ninilchik and Clam Gulch.

Some held lacrosse sticks. Assistant Area Manager Holly Dickson used a high-pressure water pump connected to a fire hose to liquify the sand within a small circle of beach. Fish and Game will use the clam counts to decide if there are enough to reopen sport and personal-use clamming in Ninilchik and Clam Gulch.
“Really at the closure of the fishery — ‘16, ‘17, ‘18 — we saw really high numbers of juvenile clams,” he said. “And so that’s really the first step for numbers to rebuild. You get new clams showing up on the beach. So that was kind of the bright spot. The downside was during those years we had really poor growth rates.”
But Booz knows there are lots of people waiting, shovel ready, to dig into the east side beaches again.Technicians in Ninilchik were several plots into their survey Wednesday when, at last, a small yellow clam bubbled to the surface.
