Episode Synopsis

Pismo clams were a staple of recreational fisheries for decades, but their population declined by the 1980s. The last clam of legal fishing size of four and a half inches was found in 1993, but since 2015, the Ruttenberg Lab at Cal Poly has been able to witness a rise in the clams’ population.
