This closure is a result of contamination that may be from either sewage or agricultural run-off. The closed area is marked by boundary signs. This bivalve molluscs harvesting closure is in effect until further notice.
Bivalve molluscs are shellfish with two shells, such as oysters, mussles, clams and cockles.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada would like to remind the public that it is illegal to harvest shellfish from contaminated areas. Eating contaminated shellfish can cause serious illness.
