Regional Fish Advisory Programs
Hudson River Fish Advisory Outreach Project
The Hudson River Fish Advisory Outreach Project is a multi-year initiative of the New York State Department of Health. The goal of the Project is for all anglers and others who eat fish from the Hudson River to know about and follow the New York State fish advisories. The project area extends from Hudson Falls to the New York City Battery (PDF, 156KB, 1pg.).
St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Fish Advisory Communications
The New York State Department of Health is working with the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe to enhance their fish advisory communications as part of a three-year grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant. This project will work with the tribe community to develop their own fish consumption advisory messages, while maintaining the respect of traditional tribal customs and beliefs about eating fish and game from the St. Lawrence River area. For more information about this grant, please contact Bettsy Prohonic at our Center for Environmental Health at 518-402-7530 or email ceheduc@health.state.ny.us.
