Shuck It – Workshop Findings on Implementing Shell Recycling in Puget Sound
In 2011, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) started the National Shellfish Initiative to support increases in the populations of coastal bivalves through both restoration and commercial production. Washington State, recognizing the importance of coastal bivalves, has since...

To date, efforts focused on implementing action 6.1.2 have not been undertaken. As such, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) held a one-day workshop with representation from pathologists, shellfish aquaculture industry, non-profits, and tribes, with a focus on evaluating the benefits and risk of implementation of a shell recycling program in Puget Sound, that could be used for such actions as 6.1.2.
