"[Giant clams] long-term existence hinges on strongly enforcing anti-poaching laws and improving the survival of offspring. Scientists also need sufficient funding to sustain conservation programmes, said 20 South-east Asian experts of the flamboyant bivalves.
These were the key conclusions of a policy paper published on April 6 to improve the conservation of the threatened reef animals in the region."
Who’s the clam expert on here? I was referencing him a while back and want to link to him in revisiting it.
EDIT: It's Dr. Dan Killam @dantheclamman! His hashtag is #ClamFacts. (Thanks, @Jason844!)
Parts of Boston Harbor are clean enough for recreational shellfishing for the first time in a century. To mark the moment, we dig into the history and debates around New England clam chowder. #chowder #clams #recipes

All-around very cool story and well worth the read. 💛
#Nuns & #NativeWomen from the #indigenous #Shinnecook tribe in #NewYork have started a #kelp #farm to help remove #carbon & #nitrogen / #nitrates #pollution from their #ocean waters.
After two years, there are #scallops, #clams, #SeaHorses, and other #MarineLife not seen in years, sheltering the kelp lines.
It's not just an #environmental success story, but of #friendship, #allyship, & support as well. 💪

🐚 Scientists raise 300,000 surfclams offshore, proving open-ocean aquaculture can work
https://phys.org/news/2026-02-scientists-surfclams-offshore-ocean-aquaculture.html
Rutgers researchers have made a discovery that could change the future of seafood farming in New Jersey. A study led by marine scientist Daphne Munroe has shown that Atlantic surfclams can be successfully farmed in the open ocean. Her research, published in the North American Journal of Aquaculture, proves that offshore aquaculture is not only possible but promising. This method could help meet the increasing demand for seafood while protecting wild clam populations.
