GA DNR Shellfish Program
Shellfish
A Georgia Fishing License is required to take shellfish (oysters, clams) for non-commercial purposes. Shellfish must be harvested between
the hours of hour before official sunrise and hour after official sunset. Shellfish
may only be taken with handheld implements. Recreationally harvested
shellfish may not be sold.
Shellfish Limits
Oysters must measure no less than three inches from hinge to mouth, unless the oyster cannot be removed from a legal-sized oyster
without destroying it. For clams, the maximum depth from one shell half to the other must be at least one inch thick.
Recreational quantity limits are up to two bushels of oysters and one bushel of clams per
person per day, with a maximum limit of six bushels of oysters and one bushel of clams
per boat per day.
The consumption of raw or undercooked foods such as meat, fish, and eggs, which may contain harmful bacteria, may cause
serious illness or death.
