Early survey points to strong Taylor County scallop season

Taylor County’s early scallop survey is pointing to a season with substantially more scallops than in previous years.

The survey provides an initial measure of what the county’s scallop season may look like. It is an early indication rather than a final count or a guarantee of how the season will unfold.

What the survey indicates

The central finding is that scallop numbers observed in the early survey were higher than in previous years. That points to a potentially strong season for Taylor County.

What remains ahead

The survey is an early check on scallop conditions. Additional information will be needed to show how the season develops and how closely later observations match the initial results.

The results matter to people who follow Taylor County’s scallop season, but the early survey alone does not establish a final harvest or season outcome.
