This $770,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Superfund State, Political Subdivision, and Indian Tribe Site-Specific Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 66.802) funds the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health's efforts to address fish contamination and reduce human health risks associated with eating contaminated fish from the Palos Verdes (PV) Shelf Superfund Site.
The grant supports activities including public outreach and education to healthcare professionals, participation in Fish Contamination Education Collaborative (FCEC) meetings, and management of "Do Not Consume" pier signage within Los Angeles County. Key deliverables include presentations to the FCEC and public health professionals, serving as a clearinghouse for fish contamination information, and exploring outreach to physicians and other providers. The expected outcome is a 50% increase in awareness of the fish contamination issue among the targeted population. The overall goal is to reduce exposure from eating contaminated fish related to the PV Shelf Superfund Site.
