SEET issues health/fish consumption advisories after risk analyses that allow the greatest use of the state's natural resources while still protecting the public's health. State environmental regulatory agencies collaborating with SEET in this program include:
On an as-needed basis, SEET conducts blood mercury screens for targeted groups including commercial fishers and their families, women of childbearing age, and people who regularly eat fish from local water bodies. A detailed questionnaire about fish consumption habits is administered to each participant. Participants are provided with their blood mercury results and information on how to eat fish safely.
