January 2026
Decades of toxic DDT and “forever chemicals” still linger in Santa Monica Bay, putting subsistence and recreational anglers at risk. Heal the Bay is urging the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment to call for new testing and update safety standards to protect our local anglers.
California has a responsibility to protect its residents from toxic pollution. We will continue to urge OEHHA to take the necessary steps to keep our angler community safe.
