[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4279651, member: 5412"] The great lakes have a mercury alert which also has a high ship population. Lower than Oklahoma. The Great Lakes Basin draws millions of anglers each year to fish in its lakes, rivers and streams. In addition, millions more of the region’s residents consume those fish. The problem is, only about half the people in the Great Lakes states are aware of such advisories, according to [URL='https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S004896972201066X']a recent study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison[/URL]. The study in the journal “Science of the Total Environment” found that [B]5 million people exceeded the recommended fish intake of two meals or 12 ounces per week,[/B] as suggested by the Environmental Protection Agency, over the study’s 12-month survey period. Notably, women, nonwhites, younger residents and those with lower education levels were less aware of fish advisories, and thus more prone to eat more than the recommended amount, researchers found.
