Is it feasible to 'harvest' the Clathrates from the permafrost before they evaporate?

We can see that there are large buildups of methane clathrates in permafrost regions.

Climate scientist James Hansen has predicted that the release of the permafrost methane clathrates could cause runaway climate change.

We know that some have related the Triassic Extinction event to the release of Permafrost Clathrates.

I know that there are various techniques to extract natural gas from shale and rock.

My question is: Is it feasible to 'harvest' the Clathrates from the permafrost before they evaporate?
