Clamming the South River

Join the NSRWA as we head out onto the flats of the South River to learn how to clam. The program will be guided by local experts as we learn the art of clamming from seasoned veterans and learn about local clam species, explore unique habitat, and understand their importance to our estuary ecosystem.

Park at the Humarock Parking Lot at 2-4 Central Ave, Humarock. The NSRWA van will provide transportation to the clamming site.

People are encouraged to get a license but it is not needed if they just wish to learn/watch us clam. No one will go home empty handed! You can get clamming license through Scituate or Marshfield Town Hall (more info here). You can get your clamming gear by visiting New England Marine in Brant Rock Marshfield or Belsan's Bait & Tackle in Scituate.

We strongly advise folks to wear footwear that can get wet, preferably waders or rubber boots, and rubber gloves. We kneel when clamming so please wear appropriate clothing to keep your knees protected and dry.
