Steven,
Attached are several files on hard clam abundance and hard clam QPX disease monitoring in Raritan Bay as requested
during our last conference call. The file “Raritan Bay Hard Clam Areas” has information on historic and active hard
clamming areas as of 2013 which was developed by the consultant for the Living Breakwater Project who worked with
local Staten Island clammers involved in the Shellfish Transplant Program. You can refer to the 2015 QPX Report for
locations of the QPX monitoring stations which are located in areas with the highest QPX prevalence and highest hard
clam abundance. The highest clam abundance tends to follow the channel (Raritan Bay West Reach) in the areas of 8,
10, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18.
I also included a map of surfclam population abundance in the certified waters of the Atlantic Ocean which was done
during the 2012 Atlantic Ocean Surfclam Population Survey. We can send you the full survey report if interested. We
did not survey the surfclam bait area off the Rockaways west of Beach 193rd Street (Silver Gull Club Building) which is
uncertified (closed) to shellfish harvest for food consumption.
Please contact me should you have any questions on the attached information.
Thanks.
