Fish consumption advisory map

This caught my eye and I didn’t see it posted. Looks like a lot of waterways posted on here are on this map.

Online map: don't eat fish caught here; don't swim there

Hmm that’s interesting.

Yea. Looking at it closer, most spots they suggest limiting how much fish you eat. Thought it was worth sharing.

Dang that's most of the places I fish :puke:puke

Ok I’ve been out here for more than ten years. My husband for more than 20 years. There are people that have been out here a lot longer than us. I’m wondering how come we have not heard about this until now. As good little Catholics we eat fish from The Larto/Saline complex once a week. I haven’t started glowing yet.

I don’t think it’s going to change how people eat fish around here. I fish Old River most of the time. It’s not on there but I don’t want to know what’s in it. It’s like fishing the MS River.

Can eat it (limited amount) if cooked was told by WLF. It's about as bad as going to the grocery store and eating all the artificial flavored food.

That's how I figure it, the Dept. of Ag. allows so much poison or chemicals in our food so what's a little bit more. I don't keep more than a few and my main source of fish is the Terrebonne Parish area which has no adviseries or Lake St. John which doesn't either.

Bundicks isn't on there! Yea! May be because they probably didn't test it

Now that's negative thinking if I ever heard of any.

I figured Bisteneau is from spraying weed killer several times a year for the last 20 yrs

Interesting info, I mostly fish in SE LA and there are several areas that are not on the map that I fish but others that are. Who knows, don't think I'm changing anything but like others, why haven't I seen this before. Seems important to be quiet.

The advisory has been out over 30 years. There are signs posted on these waterways. Most of the problem is with Mercury. Harmful effects to small children and nursing mothers. Folks need to read the advisory and how the results are attained. A bit fake news. IMO.

I've seen these advisories for many years. D'Arbonne and D'Arbonne bayou isn't on the list; Lake Providence was on the advisory list for many years but I don't see on this map.
