§ 15401 Public Clam Digging Areas

This law says places where people dig for clams can't be rented out; the state will decide which spots are for clam digging.

Key Takeaways

  • •Clam‑digging spots are for public use only.
  • •No one can lease or rent those spots.
  • •A government department decides which areas are for clam digging.

Example

A company wants to rent a stretch of beach to let its workers dig clams for a restaurant.

Because the law says clam‑digging areas can't be leased, the company can't rent that beach. The state agency will pick the spots that the public can use for clam digging instead.
