The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Thursday, March 6th, 2008
Posted by Jeff Mayor @ 10:53:30 am

The U.S. Coast Guard sent out a notice late yesterday that canisters with fumigants used to kill pests in cargo holds of ships have washed up on several beaches along the coast between Ocean Shores and Ozette.

The contents of the canisters may pose a health threat to people. Beach goers that find canisters should contact the state Department of Ecology Environmental Hotline at 360-407-6300. Beach goers should not handle the canisters because they contain toxic chemicals.

While this weekend's razor clam dig is taking place on beaches south of Ocean Shores, diggers may want to be careful.

The Department of Ecology and the Coast Guard are investigating the source of the containers.
