BRUNSWICK — Georgia’s territorial waters re-opened to commercial and recreational shellfish harvest Saturday. GA DNR Commissioner Mark Williams closed shellfish harvest in state waters on Sept. 9 in anticipation of the impact from Hurricane Irma and in the interest of protecting public health. “The predicted impacts from Hurricane Irma included heavy rains and larger than normal tidal surges that could have resulted in elevated bacterial levels from run off into the growing areas,” Dominic Guadagnoli, shellfish fishery manager for the Coastal Resources Division of DNR, said.
