Alaska Wildlife Troopers ran a widespread bust targeting illegal clam diggers on Kenai Peninsula beaches over Memorial Day weekend, citing at least 22 people for misconduct with mollusks.
Unusually low tides, the holiday weekend and the irresistible lure of fresh clams drew hundreds of mud-diggers to Kenai Peninsula beaches over the three-day weekend. Soldotna wildlife trooper Sgt. Paul McConnell said the law was out in full force to watch.
Violations included taking undersized or too many clams and clamming without a fishing license.
"It was good timing as far as a three-day weekend, people kind of head down there anyway for Memorial Day weekend, and the tides just fell at the right time too, so it's probably pretty popular right now," troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen said.

New moon tides are not “unusually low”. The lowest tides of the year were the perigee tides that occurred back in January.

“Unusually low tides,”
Not only the misconduct charge is kinky, but what about the second sentence in the article? I was under the impression that there is severe man made global warming going on right now and the Polar Ice Caps are melting at an astonishing rate. Leaving polar bears and seals stranded on ice flows. How is it then there is now “Unusually low tides,”? I mean I am just asking.

I had 14 (little) illegal clam diggers at my house over the past weekend, some are from Mexico, but not illegally. And that was here on the border in the middle of the desert.
