Catch of the Day: Mercury

What’s the Catch of the Day? Mercury. It’s poisoning our waters, our fish, our bodies and it isn’t going away any time soon. Each year tons of mercury gets into our streams, bays and oceans. How does it get there, what does it do to us and how can we protect ourselves?

On this edition, we go to the San Francisco Bay. Joined by a public health analyst, we’ll talk to local fisherman, new moms, restaurant-goers and the E.P.A. about mercury.
