Evaluation of Fish Advisory Research

Elizabeth Honig and David Finkenaur Have focused their efforts into understanding the processes involved in creating fish advisories for the Neponset River, Charles River and Lower Mystic River as well as data collection methods for each. Fish advisories provide the public important information about the fish that inhabit their local rivers. Elizabeth and David realized the importance of unifying the fish advisory data collection process across these rivers and sought to find a practical way to standardize testing practices by evaluating current methods and determining the most effective. Hopefully, their efforts will encourage further exploration and implementation of standardized methods of collecting data and producing fish advisories.
