Tideland owners - have you been poached?
A special note to tideland owners who have leased and converted their tidelands to geoduck growers: Do you know how many geoducks are on your tidelands? Do you know where your tideland parcel actually starts and ends? Minus tides present an opportunity for you to become educated. Be sure when harvest time comes and reports are received, you'll know if you've been poached. Divide the planted plot on your tidelands, which should be clearly known, into 3'X3' squares and count the number of geoduck "shows" in each square. You don't need to measure the entire plot, although that would be ideal, only a number of samples. Multiply the average number in the sample squares by the number of squares in your tideland area planted and you'll know what you should expect at harvest time.
