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.

+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.

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).

Yes, Pacific Geoduck clams can be found from southeast Alaska to Baja Peninsula Mexico. Mediterranean Sea water temperature is about same as California coast water temperature. Yet, almost all clams including Geoduck clams do not live in open sea. Instead, they live near inlet, sound, estuary and bay. Moreover, since they are filter feeding shellfish, sea water must be pristine in order to be safe for human consumption.
