Like 2 Dislike 0 Published on 19 Sep 2011
The half-hour documentary presents the many benefits of eating ocean fish and weighs those benefits against the risk of mercury exposure for the population with the most to gain (or lose): unborn and young children. Pregnant and nursing mothers will learn why two ocean fish meals a week during the critical window of development can safely give their babies lifelong benefits. The rest of the population also benefits by including ocean fish in their healthy diets.
Funding for the documentary is provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Marine Fisheries Pacific Islands Regional Office and the members of Prairie Public.
