Wash. tribes cut back clam harvest

WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2002

Washington tribes are being forced to cut back their clam harvest by as much as 50 percent.

Member tribes of the Point No Point Treaty Council are affected. They are the Skokomish and the Port Gamble S'Klallam, Jamestown S'Klallam and Lower Elwha Klallam tribes.

State biologists are trying to figure out why hundreds of thousands of clams died last winter on at least three beaches.
