Mussel harvesting closed on Oregon's north coast due to paralytic shellfish poisoning above safety threshold.

Mussel harvesting has been closed along the entire north coast of Oregon, from Seal Rock State Park to the Washington border, due to rising levels of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in mussels, which are now above the safety threshold. The closure is not related to oil pollution currently affecting the coast, and mussel harvesting remains open from Seal Rock State Park to the California border.
