Clammers concerned with NOAA port
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently chose Newport’s Yaquina Bay as the new port location for its Marine Operations Center - Pacific.
Yaquina Bay’s south side now will house the fleet beginning 2011, pending the signing of a 20-year lease, according to an NOAA news release in August.
But the president of the Clam Diggers Association, Bill Lackner, voiced some concern.
“My first point of concern is the impact they’re going to have on the essential habitat,” Lackner said.
