Comprehensive social science surveys will provide essential information about the fishing habits of shore- and boat-based fishers including common locations, species consumed, and culturally important practices. Combined with information about the transport of chemical pollutants in Tampa Bay and their concentrations in different fish species, this research will allow us to better understand the relative risks of contaminated seafood consumption to fishers based on the areas and species they may target.Must be comfortable speaking with new people in diverse contexts.
