Report analyzes economic benefits of rebuilding efforts and costs of delaysWASHINGTON, July 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A report released today by the Pew Environment Group reveals significant potential financial benefits of rebuilding four fish species in the Mid-Atlantic: summer flounder, black sea bass, butterfish and bluefish.
State officials in Maryland say Atlantic striped bass caught in coastal waters should not be consumed because they may contain a toxic substance. The Baltimore Sun said Maryland Department of the Environment officials have urged the general public to avoid consuming striped bass and bluefish from coastal waters more than once a month. The warning from the state agency was in response to the recent discovery of high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls in fish caught in area coastal waters, the newspaper said Thursday. The neurotoxin, also known as PCBs, is thought to be a human carcinogen. Department of the Environment Science Services Director Rich Eskin told the Sun the state warning did not mean people should stop fishing, but should just limit their consumption of the targeted species from coastal waters. We encourage people to keep fishing.
