The expansion of geoduck into our waters continues. Regardless of consequences. Follow the money.
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources this month has auctioned 14 quotas for geoduck farming, the Seattle Globalistreported [http://seattleglobalist.com/2015/06/16/washingtons-controversial-clam-geoduck/37785]. The deepwater plots are on privately owned areas around Central Puget Sound, the Hood Canal and Hood Head East, the news outlet reported. The industry has also been attempting to increase harvests on private tidelands, and this year is the first time that state-owned lands will be leased for aquaculture, the news outlet reported.
