BALTIMORE (AP) — The Maryland Department of the Environment says portions of the Wye River in Queen Anne’s and Talbot counties are closed to shellfish harvesting because of high bacterial levels.
The closure began Monday and includes parts of the Wye East River, Wye Narrows and the main stem of the Wye River. The closure affects only the harvesting of oysters and clams and does not apply to swimming, fishing or crabbing in those areas.
