Department of Health updates New York’s fish consumption advisories
For the first time in more than five decades, everyone in the family can legally eat fish they catch in the stretch of the Hudson River in New York from Catskill south. The New York State Department of Health relaxed its fish advisories earlier this spring, changing a consumption ban on the lower Hudson among a host of changes that include new advisories on other waters.
New warnings on eating fish were issued for the Great Lakes, some of them related to forever chemicals known as PFAS and/or PFOS.

Commentary: The Roadless Rule is under attack
When I draw a hunting tag, especially for elk, one of the first things I do is pull out a map. I look for public land – and then I look for roads, because that’s where the elk aren’t.
That’s because elk need food, water, and a secure place to bed – and that usually means being miles from any open roads. Want to fill your freezer? Find the roadless area. The Roadless Rule was written for hunters like me. And for anglers – because roadless areas provide crucial native habitat, protecting fish that have never seen the inside of a hatchery.
