A. Prohibited areas are closed to shellfishing, because the area is not sufficiently removed from pollution sources for shellfish to be safe for consumption. Areas that are unclassified are closed to shellfishing, because the sanitary conditions of the area for shellfish harvesting have not been characterized by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
