Most resident Toronto and Region fish are safe to eat!
Levels of contaminants like mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have substantially declined in the Toronto and Region Area of Concern. These improvements to water and sediment quality have made both catching and eating fish in Toronto a reality.
Join us for this Lake Ontario Evening as we hear about some of the angler engagement surveys taking place in Lake Ontario. Find out how you can provide feedback on a recent assessment of the Restrictions on Fish Consumption Beneficial Use Impairment.
Following this event, we will raffle off a $150 Bass Pro/Cabela’s gift card. View the contest terms and conditions.
Presenters:
- Jeanne Coffin-Schmitt, PhD Candidate, Cornell University
