Title
NJDEP Fish Advisory Locations of New Jersey [New Jersey]
Description
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection NJDEP and New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) has updated recreational fish consumption advisories for tributaries, lakes and ponds in the lower Delaware watershed as part of the state's ongoing fish-safety monitoring program. The DEP has also expanded testing of fish in selected water bodies in various regions of the state to include several chemicals of emerging concern known as known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. These analyses have resulted in the DEP's first consumption advisories for PFAS. All states have fish consumption advisories. Many of the fish on New Jersey's advisory lists are typically caught and consumed and some people rely on some of the species on the advisory lists as a significant food source.The state's ongoing public outreach activities concerning fish consumption advisories include responding to inquiries from the public by way of web and phone inquiries, as well as distribution of outreach materials to all New Jersey Women, Infants & Children (WIC) centers in English and Spanish. Information is also available to recreational anglers, local and county health departments, and other stakeholders. Chemical contaminant data obtained on fish collected in 2016-2017. Advisories generated in 2018.The DEP and Department of Health advise all anglers to get the latest advisories for the specific water body they fish by visiting www.fishsmarteatsmartnj.org
