""Eat the fish, but don't go crazy if you are in the general population. I'd have to caution women under 50 and children under 15. [They] should be very cautious of how much they're eating because the change allows them to eat one fish meal per month. It's very limited. And definitely no feasting. Nobody should feast.""
""It's extremely limited. These are not crazy changes. This is not 'Go and eat the fish without any restrictions.' And we're dealing with a very small portion of the river.""
State health officials have updated fish consumption advisories for the lower Hudson River, allowing sensitive groups to consume one meal per month of certain fish due to declining PCB levels. However, Riverkeeper warns that the cleanup is ongoing and advises caution, especially for women under 50 and children under 15. The general population's advisories remain unchanged, with limited consumption of safer fish varieties. Overall, the changes are minimal and do not encourage unrestricted eating of fish from the river.
