IGAP (PSP Testing and compost)

Compost

IGAP has been producing compost for several years and can be purchased at the Flower Farm and Hammer and Wikan Hardware (as stock allows).

PSP (Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning) Levels in Clams, Mussels and the Salt Water

IGAP harvests clams and mussels bi-weekly.  These are air freighted to Sitka, where a lab tests them for PSP levels.  Updates are posted on our Facebook page, below and at many local water sites.
