Abstract	The Port of Coos Bay is considering expanding their marina facilities in Charleston. Several sites are being considered; one to the north of the present boat basin and one to the south (Figure 1). The southern proposal is for an area that historically has supported an important recreational clam fishery. A Fish Commission of Oregon resource use survey of that tideflat in 1971 showed that 974 clam digging trips representing 1,603 hours of effort were made to harvest nearly 20,000 clams (Table 1). Cockle, gaper and littleneck clams were the principal species collected. Because of the importance of this tideflat to recreational clam diggers. we conducted a biological inventory of the clam flat during July 1977. Results of this survey are presented in this report.
