Chesapeake

Is fun at the Chesapeake Bay part of your plans for in during the lockdown?  Environmentalists are worried about the mercury (a potent neurotoxin) level in the fish people are catching and eating in the area.  The Environmental Protection Agency says the mercury level in the striped bass is too high right now.  It is a popular choice on the menu of the area restaurants.  Trout and ?creek chub are better choices, the article says.

This comes from the Chesapeake Bay Journal, July/August 2020, page 27 which you can easily read online.
