Description Shellfish growers have asked the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) to develop a new general permit to allow the use of the herbicide Imazamox to control non-native eelgrass (Zostera japonica) that is harming commercial clam beds in Willapa Bay. Shellfish growers seek this permit to help them cultivate and harvest clams in the tideflats of Willapa Bay only.
