Radio Interview about Mercury in Fish

While working at GotMercury.Org, I did an interview with the great people at the National Radio Project about mercury in seafood with a focus on mercury in San Francisco Bay, the lawsuits under Proposition 65, and the WIC program that gives breastfeeding women canned mercury despite the risks.

You can listen to the entire program online at:

OceanHealth.Org posts to Yelp! Reviewing businesses for ocean-friendly, healthy seafood options.

A fun resource for finding reviews for just about anything these days is Yelp. One thing that was noticeably lacking things on Yelp was reviews that took into account the impact the restaurants and other businesses that sell seafood are having on your health and on the health of our oceans.

Now OceanHealth.Org has begun reviewing San Francisco Bay Area restaurants and other businesses to rate how ocean-friendly and healthy they are.

Check out the OceanHealth.Org profile on Yelp and become a friend so that restaurants know that you care about your health and the health of our dwindling ocean resources.
