Fish Advisory Information

The Governor approved Assembly Bill No. 762 on October 7, 2019. This Bill made changes to the manner that health advisories related to areas where contaminated fish or shellfish may be caught. More specifically, the Bill would require local health officers to conspicuously post health warnings upon the issuance of a site-specific fish or shellfish health advisory as defined by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). The purpose of this advisory is to protect the public from potential sources of contamination that may be present in fish and shellfish that are caught along the Orange County coastal, bay, and harbor waters. OEHHA has identified several areas along the Orange County coastlines ranging from Seal Beach to San Clemente where such contamination may be present.

Below are Site Specific Fish Advisories for the impacted Orange County waters:
