Hold the Mercury

A number of grocery stores have joined Oceana's Green List by by posting seafood counter signs about the FDA mercury advice for women of childbearing age and children to avoid or limit certain types of fish because of their mercury levels. Shouldn't yours too? 

Many families need more information about mercury in seafood. An EPA scientist has estimated that one in ten women has enough mercury in her body to pose neurological risks to her developing fetus and seafood is the primary way people are exposed to mercury.

If you don't see any of your grocery stores listed, they may be among the stores that are already posting signs about mercury at their seafood counters. Check out our Green List. If you shop at a local store that is smaller than the companies Oceana is actively targeting, you can sign up to take them a comment card and sample sign.
