TX 1 harvest in Galveston Bay will be closing again due to a low abundance of legal-sized oysters, weeks after reopening from a previous weekslong closure.
An area of Galveston Bay used for commercial and recreational oyster harvesting will be closed because of low levels of legal-sized oysters for harvest.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is closing the TX 1 harvest area beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 17.The closing is said to be based on samples recently collected by TPWD that showed the low abundance of the oysters.The criteria include parameters for oysters when they fall below certain thresholds based on the abundance of legal-sized oysters and the percentage of small oysters .
All areas currently closed to harvest will continue to be monitored by TPWD and will reopen when criteria are met, the department said.
