Fish Consumption Advisories

Fish Consumption Advisories are public health notices that recommend how often and which types of fish people should eat to avoid potential health risks from contaminants like mercury or PCBs. These advisories are issued by health agencies based on testing fish from local waters. They aim to protect vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women and children, while still encouraging the consumption of fish as a healthy source of protein and nutrients. Essentially, they provide guidance to help you enjoy fish safely without exposing yourself to harmful substances.
