Farm raised Geoduck clams beach harvesting during low tide from Discovery Bay, Washington

[@doctoredable]

These are the most delicious clams in the world. I do not know if this method of harvest is ecologically sound but it appears to be.

[@abait1868]

If you pause at 1:27 and look at the clam in the right side of the screen,you can see the clam taking a piss.

This is habitat destruction. These geoduck are farm raised geoduck planted in our public waters at the expense of critical habitat that others are told they must protect. These geoduck clams are planted in an eelgrass bed that you can see in this video. Eelgrass is by law recognized as critical habitat, to be protected because it is important to so many organisms from the bottom of the food chain to the chinook, and orca that are listed as endangered. State law mandates "no net loss" of eelgrass, but there is no attempt to avoid eelgrass beds or mitigate for their impact upon the eelgrass so critical to the survival of other species. The impact to our local fishing industry is directly correlated to the loss of eelgrass. These geoduck are engineered species, not naturally grown intended for the Asia markets at the expense of our local waters. Harvesting is very disruptive to the marine benthic community made up of many organisms (works, crustaceans, bivalves, anemones, etc) that break down waste, and provide nutrients back to the habitat. These geoduck planted at unnatural densisites, ( 1 geoduck/s.f), that removes all nutirents from a water column each day, that is no longer available to other marine organisms. Once these workers come into these areas using their hydraulic hoses they break down the substrate, destroying benthic organisms, nutritents, eelgrass, sand dollars, crustaceans, which is a direct impact to other marine species... all for the Asian markets. There is no public benefit, there is not mitigation, this is theft of public resources, while others work hard to try to prevent the extinction of the chinook and orca.

How do you farm Geoduck clams? I guess if you keep them all in an enclosed area and know were they're all at, then it's obviously feasible. Not sure what they eat or how they go about breeding, but kudos to these guys for figuring out a method to this madness.

[@jacobburton1213]

+Broken Monkey (BrokenMonkey) That isn't a legitimate geoduck farm. those guys just wandered onto the mudflats and harvested some wild geoducks. In geoduck farms they place the juvenile geoducks in early stages of life into pvc pipe stuck in the ground and keep them growing in a single place. They aren't even large enough to harvest unto two or more years later. It's both less time consuming and cheaper to do what the people in the video did.

[@mrbrokenmonkey]

+Jacob Burton Very interesting, thanks for the info! :)

[@user-kb5er1pr1r]

+Jacob Burton At the beginning of this video, it clearly show it is an United States Government produced video with harvesting location stated. Although it did not state the name of farm, people in this field would know it is Discovery Bay Shellfish, Inc., a FDA Interstate Certified Shellfish Shipper (WA 1440 SS) in Port Townsend, Washington. Moreover, people in this field would be able to tell once look at those Geoduck clams that they are farm raised, not wild-caught. Those PCV pipes you mentioned are removed after first year, and it takes about five years before they reach marketable size (about one pound each on average).

What's with the rubber band?

[@lBabeOvemy]

geoducks are used to the pressure when it's still buried.they put a rubber band around it so it will not die.

[@MemeKing44]

So what kind of air compressor tool are they using? Is no-one gonna yak about that or explain that? And how do you catch them without that tool

[@harleyberge3677]

It's a water pump and that is a metal tip on the end of the hose. We blast the water into the sand around the clam and reach into the liquidised hole and pull the clam out. The site compressor comes into play when we dive for the harvest

The clams are several feet deep in the tidal flats. The neck extends to the surface. When you walk past them they spray a stream of water or sometimes you can see the tip of the neck. The spouts are marked with the sticks.

[@irisb7205]

@@byronschroedel432 also a hole visible in the surface is created as they spew seawater when they sense invasion and burrow fast really deeply.

[@byronschroedel432]

@@irisb7205 Good morning, do the Gooey Ducks actually burrow? In the 1980ies we spent a lot of time at Half Moon bay tidal flats digging for ducks. I always thought it was just their appendage that moved and the body was locked in place. Now that I think about it they could burrow by creating quicksand around themselves and vibrating in. Any thoughts?

[@irisb7205]

@@byronschroedel432 I believe sea cucumbers do the same thing. The tidal flats were teeming with edible sea creatures , it's mind boggling , snalis all sizes and colors , small clams that burrow as well. We just used a shovel unto a net , rinsed sand off in the shallows. Wrap them in banana leaves then grill by the beach using driftwood.. A battle of the fast and furious was with the sea cucumbers. I miss that life . Addendum : its deliciousness is indescribable. A brother said, things have diminished by our ocean due to industrialization , a half a mile long pier near our ancestral home was built to serve multinational tankers which collect coconut oil.
