The Southeast Alaska  geoduck clam fishery has expanded greatly since opening in 1983.  Authors recommend  research on geoduck health and impacts on the geoduck clam population, development of a state-operated hatchery and nursery, more accessible paralytic shellfish poisoning testing, an enhancement program for wild geoducks, adjustment of guideline harvest limits to reflect  needs of  geoduck populations, a new survey and harvest schedule, programs to encourage intertidal farming of geoducks, and research to determine efficacy of management methods in achieving sustainability in the  geoduck clam fishery.
