In this video, Veronica Carter (Boarder member, NC Coastal Federation) and Deborah Dicks Maxwell (President, New Hanover County NAACP) discuss the origins of the Stop, Check, and Enjoy! Campaign, why subsistence fish consumption out of Cape Fear River is an environmental justice issue, and specific aspects of the Stop, Check, and Enjoy! Campaign:
STOP: Kids under 15 and people who are or may become pregnant should not eat wild-caught catfish or largemouth bass from anywhere in North Carolina.
CHECK: Everyone should check advisories for all fish from the Cape Fear River. bit.ly/eatsafefish
ENJOY: Enjoy safer fish once you have checked local advisories, and follow per week portion and meal recommendations
