28 degrees is where salt water freezes. In open air, a quahog will die in the shell below 28. Some towns prohibit all quahogging below 28, and others only prohibit dry digging, as most quahoggers keep the baskets in the water, suspended from a float ring, when they wade dig. As long as they're kept in the water, and not left out too long out of the water, they'll be fine.
