Hudson River Informational Meeting and Community Conversation on Dec. 12

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is holding a public meeting and community feedback session on December 12, 2024, to talk about ongoing efforts to study and address polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, in the Hudson River. The meeting will also provide important information about New York State’s health advice for people who eat fish from the Hudson River. Join us to hear from federal and state experts and to provide your input on how to continue to spread awareness about the fishing advisories.

Learn more about:

• Which types of fish and crab from the Hudson River are safe to eat, and in what amounts.
• Best practices for cleaning and cooking fish to reduce chemical exposure.
• How the state is working to inform communities, including newcomers, about eating fish safely.

The EPA will also provide updates on its ongoing activities in the Hudson River as part of the federal Superfund program.
