Home Page for Evaluating an Atlantic Coastal Advisory for Striped Bass and Bluefish based on PCBs

Objective:

Prepare a document assessing the feasibility of developing a common coastal advisory for striped bass and bluefish due to PCBs. "Common" may be the whole Atlantic coast, or it may be regional (New England, Mid-Coast, Southern) depending on what the data suggests. Additionally, we recognize that while the objective is to work towards a common advisory, there may be states that participate in this process that do not sign on to any advisory we finally develop.

The Final Report is now available and posted here:
