Some Alabama lawmakers want to make sure that your catch of the day is safe to eat before you prepare your meals.
If passed, The Safe and Healthy Outdoor Recreation Act would help tell you if a fish is safe to eat.
“We don’t want to discourage fishing at all, I love to fish, I want every Alabamian and every visitor to our state to be able to go out and safely enjoy fishing and eating the fish that are safe to eat,” West said. If the SHOR Act is passed, signage with pictures and names of fish with active consumption advisories would be required at every public boat ramp and fishing area.
“The seminal right for a father or mother to go catch a fish and feed it to their family has been stolen from us by these big polluters,” Whiteside said. “We need to know that the problem exists and we need to make the fish safe to eat again and the water safe to drink for everyone.”
