Bivalve Contamination Status

Clam - Butter; Clam - Littleneck; Clam - Manila;
Mussels - all species combined; Oyster - Pacific

Eating contaminated shellfish can make you very sick and can even be life threatening.

It is both illegal and unsafe to harvest any bivalve species in Telegraph Harbour/Clam Bay areas.

Closed Areas:

The waters and intertidal foreshore of Clam Bay and Telegraph Harbour, including the boat passage between Thetis Island and Penelakut Island, west of a line drawn from a point on land on Penelakut Island near the entrance to 'The Cut' at 48°59.004' north latitude and 123°39.326' west longitude, thence northeasterly to the southernmost point of Leech Island at 48°59.462' north latitude and 123°38.886' west longitude, thence following the western shoreline of Leech Island to the northernmost point of Leech Island at 48°59.581' north latitude and 123°39.022' west longitude, thence westerly to a point on land on Thetis Island at 48°59.563' north latitude and 123°39.249' west longitude; and east of a line drawn from Foster Point on Thetis Island at 48°58.174' north latitude and 123°40.081' west longitude, to the Penelakut Island public wharf where it touches land at 48°58.215' north latitude and 123°39.540' west longitude.

Cool Girls Nature Club (Today! Saturday, 9am)

The Cool Girls Nature Club is meeting this morning at Sunrise Point 🌅

Fun fact: Doing something brave (like a cold plunge) boosts confidence, and confidence is wildly attractive. Happy Valentine’s, ladies.

This is a very low-key gathering. Come sit on the beach, drink your tea, breathe some ocean air… or dip, swim, paddle, float, or just watch.

Wetsuit, bathing suit, nature suit, birthday suit — all welcome.

Your presence is perfect exactly as it is.

This is simply a way for women of all ages, shapes, and sizes to gather outdoors for a little relaxed, non-pressured fun. And honestly… why not jump in the ocean while we’re at it?

Hope to see you — even if it’s just toes in the sand.

Warmly,

Elite
