"Earlier this week, the Great Lakes PFAS Action Network announced an interactive mapping tool to help protect Michigan anglers looking to reel in a meal.

On Tuesday, the group launched its “Eat Safe Fish” mapping tool, which it developed in collaboration with the Ecology Center. The tool collects the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services 2025 “Do Not Eat” and consumption limitation advisories into an interactive map, allowing anglers to examine where contamination has been detected and which species of fish are safe to eat.

“For many Michiganders, fishing is not just recreation – it’s a tradition, a way of life, a means to put food on the table,” Tony Spaniola, the action network’s co-chair said in a statement. “As thousands of anglers head out to fish Michigan’s lakes, rivers and streams this winter, this tool serves as a critical resource to ensure people know if the fish they are catching are safe to eat. People shouldn’t have to comb through complicated government websites to figure that out.”
