I was actually quite impressed that the state is highlighting and address areas. Every state should have such a program and the transparency. The lake I grew up on has problems.

Just for comparison, here is the NC listing and it's Mercury, PCB's and Dioxin.

NC DPH: Occupational & Environmental Epidemiology: Current N.C. Fish Consumption Advisories

In Florida it's Nutrient Pollution.
Thanks

I know Big Lake and Lucille, both are very close to my home lake.

Both have a large ammount of PWC's on them. PWC's are very popular on our interior lakes in Alaska. Big lake is one of the few lakes that has more than residential use. Big lake has a couple of marinas, restraunts, etc... It is a very popular weekend destination.

Hopefully as the older PWC's age out of use being replaced by more enviromentally firendly four stroke units the problem will mitigate itself.
