BRUNSWICK — Georgia’s territorial waters will re-open to commercial and recreational shellfish harvest at 6 a.m. Friday.DNR Commissioner Mark Williams closed shellfish harvest in state waters Oct. 7 in anticipation of Hurricane Matthew and the pollution it could wash into growing areas.. “The predicted impacts from Hurricane Matthew included heavy rains and larger than normal tidal surges that could have resulted in elevated bacterial levels from runoff into the growing areas,” said Dominic Guadagnoli, shellfish fishery manager for the Coastal Resources Division of DNR. “Post-Matthew testing of territorial waters has been completed and water quality and shellfish meat samples are below bacterial threshold levels and safe for harvest.” The fall and winter season when the temperatures cool is when most consumers buy shellfish.
