Bainbridge parks officials will consider a moratorium on clam digging at Fay Bainbridge Park    at their meeting next week.

The move by the board of the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park & Recreation District follows the commissioners’ recent meeting, where they asked staff to research the possible protection of tidelands.

The parks board will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17 at Strawberry Hill Center.
