NotesIn the summer of 1931, the author investigated Tillamook, Netarts, and Alsea bays to determine their suitability for oyster culture. He also investigated in more detail the state of oyster growing in Yaquina Bay, the only place in the state where oysters were grown commercially. The author urges that fully grown oysters in Yaquina Bay be harvested before they die. This is an unpublished manuscript that was distributed locally.
