Molluscan shellfish are filter feeding organisms, and as such can concentrate deleterious substances to many times that of the overlying water. This food is also consumed raw, with no cook step to destroy pathogens that can cause illness, and so the sanitary quality of the shellfish is of critical importance. Our primary mission is the protection of public health. The Growing Area Classification program is responsible for monitoring shellfish growing areas by conducting shoreline sanitary survey, collecting seawater and shellfish samples for microbiological testing, and opening and closing shellfish growing areas as needed after rainfall events or sewage bypass events.
