Guidance for Safe Consumption of Walleye from
Unland Lakes within the Ceded Territories of
Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota
The harvest of ogaa (walleye) from inland lakes is an important part of the Anishinaabe
way of life. By participating in the spring and winter spearing seasons, tribal members
reaffirm their off-reservation treaty harvest rights while providing their families with a
nutritious food source. Yet, along with this tradition often comes a concern about
exposure to mercury through consumption of fish. The Great Lakes Indian Fish and
Wildlife Commission's (GLIFWC) Mercury Maps are available to help tribal members
make informed choices that allow continued ogaa consumption while reducing exposure
to mercury. The maps, most recently published in January 2018, provide the facts about
mercury levels in ogaa in ceded territory waters where member tribes commonly harvest
these fish. They are now available on the GLIFWC website and will be made available at
tribal registration stations and at various tribal events this spring.
Under funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, GLIFWC updates the Mercury
Maps with the most current data available every two years. The 2018 maps provide ogaa
consumption advice for 348 individual lakes, including 16 new lakes with advice
developed since the maps were last published in 2016. In particular, GLIFWC worked
with the Lac Vieux Desert Band and the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community in recent years
to significantly increase the number of lakes displayed on the maps within the Michigan
1842 Ceded Territory.
How to Use the Mercury Maps
Mercury Maps are available on the GLIFWC website for the six GLIFWC member tribes in
Wisconsin as well as the 1837 ceded territory of Minnesota and portions of the 1842 ceded
territory of Michigan. The Mercury Maps for Wisconsin and Michigan show the lakes
from which ogaa are typically harvested by a given member tribe. The Minnesota map
shows all lakes in the 1837 ceded territory of Minnesota that are available for tribal
harvest.
This newsletter provides a monthly summary of news about fish and shellfish
-------
Fish and Shellfish Program newsletter
April 2018
Each top map applies to pregnant women, women of childbearing age, and children under 15 years of age. The
bottom map applies to the remainder of the population, men 15 years of age, and older and women beyond
childbearing age. Each lake on the map is color-coded to display how many meals of walleye per month from that
lake have been deemed safe to eat. As shown on the two maps, in order to protect the developing brain of the fetus
or a child from the potential detrimental effects of mercury, fewer meals are recommended for children under the
age of 15 and women of childbearing age.
Suggestions for Reducing Mercury Exposure
There are a number of ways to reduce exposure to mercury while still harvesting and consuming ogaa:
Sort and label ogaa prior to freezing.
Put ogaa under 20 inches in bags labeled "under 20 inches."
Put ogaa over 20 inches in bags labeled "over 20 inches."
Label bags with the name of the lake where the fish were harvested.
Follow the advice provided on the Mercury Maps for the maximum safe number of ogaa meals per month.
Eat smaller ogaa (those under 20 inches) and ogaa from lakes with lower mercury levels such as those lakes
color-coded blue or green.
Alternatively, tribal members can choose to eat safer giigoonh (fish) species known to contain less mercury.
Giigoonh such as walleye, muskellunge, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and northern pike generally contain
more mercury than other giigoonh such as lake whitefish, herring, bluegill, crappie, perch, or sunfish.
Fish contain a number of nutrients that are critical to good health. By making informed decisions about the size and
species of fish eaten and the lake from which those fish are harvested, tribal members can safely eat ogaa and other
giigoonh as a part of a healthy diet.
In an effort to best serve its member tribes, the Environmental Section of GLIFWC will continue to modify the
information presented on the Mercury Maps as science in this area advances and additional ogaa mercury data
become available.
The eight Mercury Maps and their accompanying fish advisories follow this article on the next 16 pages.

For many native people, giigoonh are part of a traditional and healthy diet. If you rely on
giigoonh, choose safer giigoonh with lower levels of mercury by following the advice on this
map.
RISKS AND BENEFITS
Risk: Mercury can damage the nervous system, especially the brain. Fetuses and babies are
the most at risk because their nervous systems are rapidly developing. Children exposed to
unsafe levels while in the womb have been found to experience delayed development in
walking and talking, even though the mother was not affected. Mercury cannot be removed by
trimming or cooking.
Benefit: Eating even as few as two to three meals of giigoonh a month may reduce your risk
of death due to heart disease.
If you have questions about finding safer ogaa, call GLIFWC at 1-715-682-6619.

For many native people, giigoonh are part of a traditional and healthy diet. If you rely on giigoonh,
choose safer giigoonh with lower levels of mercury by following the advice on this map.
RISKS AND BENEFITS
Risk: Mercury can damage the nervous system, especially the brain. Fetuses and babies are the
most at risk because their nervous systems are rapidly developing. Children exposed to unsafe
levels while in the womb have been found to experience delayed development in walking and
talking, even though the mother was not affected. Mercury cannot be removed by trimming or
cooking.
Benefit: Eating even as few as two to three meals of giigoonh a month may reduce your risk of
death due to heart disease.
f J, /\
If you have questions about rinding safer ogaa, call GLIFWC at 1-715-682-6619.

Recommended Maximum Number of Ogaa Meals per Month for Lakes Harvested by St Croix
SORTING AND LABELING OGAA
PRIOR TO FREEZING
When Cleaning Ogaa:
Put ogaa under 20 inches in bags
labeled "under 20 inches."
Put ogaa over 20 inches in bags labeled
"over 20 inches."
Label bags with the lake name.
Follow the advice below for maximum
number of meals per month.
USING THIS CHART TO FIND SAFER GlIGOONH
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MEALS PER MONTH
Advice is for all lakes combined. For example, if you eat four meals in a month
from green lakes you should not eat any other meals of ogaa in that month.
MEAL SIZE
Meal size is based on 8 ounces. An average 19 inch ogaa will have 8 ounces of
meat. If your meal size is larger you should eat fewer meals of ogaa. If it is
smaller you can eat more meals of ogaa.
OTHER GlIGOONH
Giigoonh such as muskellunge, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and northern
pike will have more mercury than giigoonh such as lake whitefish, herring,
bluegill, sunfish, crappie or perch. Try to choose safer giigoonh.

For many native people, giigoonh are part of a traditional and healthy diet. If you rely on
giigoonh, choose safer giigoonh w ith lower levels of mercury by following the advice on this
map.
RISKS AND BENEFITS
Risk: Mercury can damage the nervous system, especially the brain. Fetuses and babies are
the most at risk because their nervous systems are rapidly developing. Children exposed to
unsafe levels while in the womb have been found to experience delayed development in
walking and talking, even though the mother was not affected. Mercury cannot be removed by
trimming or cooking.
Benefit: Eating even as few as two to three meals of giigoonh a month may reduce your risk
of death due to heart disease.
If you have questions about finding safer ogaa, call GLIFWC at 1-715-682-6619.

ECOTOX 5.0 Improves Search for Environmental Chemical Toxicity
Data
On March 13, 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that ECOTOX was updated.
ECOTOX is EPA's premier publicly available application providing environmental chemical toxicity data to assess
the effects that chemical exposures have on aquatic life, terrestrial plants, and wildlife. The update helps EPA
to meet the legislative requirements of the Frank Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, and to
respond to the needs of current users. In addition, ECOTOX is the primary source of toxicity data used by EPA
regulatory programs to develop chemical assessments that meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act (CWA);
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act; and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act.
ECOTOX 5.0 includes more advanced data and search capabilities, a default output focusing on critical data, new
graphical data visualization tools, and direct linkages to other EPA chemical knowledgebases. These updates will
help regulated industries, regulators, researchers, and others to more rapidly and easily search for data of interest,
and to identify the most critical data from outputs in response to data queries.
ECOTOX g;.o is now available in beta version, offering an opportunity, particularly for external current users, to
provide feedback before this updated version becomes final and replaces the current version 4.0. So. tell EPA what
vou think!

Alaska Tribal Fish Consumption Surveys
On February 14, 2018, the results of two studies assessing current seafood consumption rates for Alaska tribes were
presented at the Alaska Forum on the Environment.
EPA Region 10 has been working with tribes in Southcentral Alaska to build technical capacities to develop water
quality protection programs through the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program. The first Alaska tribal
fish consumption survey, an Assessment of Cook Inlet Tribes' Subsistence Consumption, was conducted by Seldovia
Village Tribe in 2012-2013. Modeled after the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission survey, this study
showed that for all fish and shellfish species consumed, the overall mean consumption rate (n=76) was 106.8 grams
per day (g/d) and the 95th percentile consumption rate was 267.1 g/d.
A second Alaska tribal fish consumption survey, an Assessment of Kodiak Island Tribes' Seafood Consumption, was
conducted by the Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak in 2015-2016. Modeled after the Cook Inlet and Idaho Tribal surveys, this
study showed that for all fish, shellfish, and marine mammal species consumed, the overall mean consumption rate
(n=326) was 232.8 g/d and the 95th percentile consumption rate was 764.4 g/d.

-------
Fish and Shellfish Program newsletter
April 2018
Both studies utilized in-person interviews and food frequency questionnaires. The results have been provided to the
Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation for consideration in updating the state's human health criteria
for water quality standards, currently based on a fish consumption rate of 6.5 g/d. Led by the Central Council of the

Lower Elwha Monitors Chinook Population After Dam Removal
The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, in cooperation with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and
Olympic National Park, is determining how many hatchery-origin and natural-origin Chinook salmon are returning
to the Elwha River since two fish-blocking dams were removed.
The tribe and its partners have been counting returning Chinook adults from summer through early fall, and
surveying Chinook redds (egg nests) and collecting ear bones from salmon carcasses in mid-to-late September.
When an ear bone, or otolith, is removed from a carcass and
placed under a microscope at the state's lab, scientists look for a
mark on the bone that indicates the fish is from a hatchery.
"When the fish are in the state hatchery, the water temperature
is held at a certain degree for a certain period of time, resulting
in marking a ring on the ear bone, which can be seen as a
growth ring, like on a tree," said Mike McHenry, the tribe's
habitat program manager.
"We used an otolith mark to indicate hatchery origin, rather
than the standard adipose fin clip, in order to reduce mortality
in mark-selective fisheries and maximize the number returning
to recolonize habit at the Elwha River," said Joe Anderson, a
WDFW research scientist.
The tribe also uses a sonar system in the lower river to
determine how many fish are returning between June and
September. However, the sonar can't decipher the type of fish,
so the tribe nets the river at the same time to identify fish, then
correlates the data with the sonar data.

"We have seen a dip in the numbers of returning adult Chinook over the last two years - about 2,500 fish compared
to the previous three years of about 4,500," said Keith Denton, a consultant overseeing the tribe's sonar program.
"This is most likely caused by the fact that returning adults from the last two years were juveniles in the river four
and five years ago, and experienced the brunt of the sediment impacts from dam removal during a delicate part of
their life."
Nevertheless, the number of adults returning the past two years is still about equal to the 20-year average, and the
fish seemed to have dealt with any short-term negative impacts from dam removal remarkably well.
The late summer Chinook redd surveys assess where fish are going in the watershed. "Chinook are showing good
signs already," McHenry said. "They want to move upstream and have occupied natural habitat on their own."
While salmon spawning in the river during dam removal from 2013-2015 didn't fare as well because of the
drastically changing river, there was an uptick in the out-migration of natural Chinook smolts in 2017.
"I expect when those fish return as 3-, 4- and 5-year olds, we'll see the contribution of natural-origin Chinook
increase," McHenry said, "But for now, basically, 90 percent of the returning Chinook adults are still hatchery-
origin."

Toxins Detected Before Shellfish Are Afflicted
The Skokomish Tribe is measuring the amount of toxins in harmful algal blooms in Hood Canal in the state of
Washington as part of an early warning system for shellfish poisoning.
While the tribe is part of the SoundToxins program to monitor shellfish and algae, it also is adding another level of
precaution.
"The concept is to quantify the toxins in the water and algae before they get into shellfish tissues so we can share
that information with the researchers at the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and SoundToxins and
say, 'Hey, look for this in your samples,' " said Seth Book, the tribe's environmental biologist.
Toxins associated with algal blooms can cause sickness and even death when contaminated shellfish are eaten.
During the first year of the tribe's program, samples were taken weekly from 13 locations between the Hood Canal
Bridge and Belfair from May to September. Bloom events and associated toxins in Hood Canal were identified and
categorized.
The tribe hired Dr. Sang Seon Yun to use the tribe's newly developed water quality lab to analyze the samples on site
instead of sending them away for testing.

The biggest success so far has been seeing the tribe's testing methods work, since they were able to find toxins as
low as parts per billion, Book said.
"Although the levels we found were extremely low,
shellfish concentrate these toxins in their flesh," he
said.
If a harmful algal bloom occurs in Hood Canal, the
tribe's lab immediately will be able to analyze samples,
said Ron Figlar-Barnes, the tribe's lab manager.
The tribe looks for eight main toxins, including
domoic acid, which causes amnesic shellfish poisoning
and can result in permanent loss of short-term
memory, or even death in severe cases. Other algal
toxins of interest to the researchers are toxins
associated with diarrhetic and paralytic shellfish
poisoning.
These toxins are often associated with the term "red tide,
reddish pigments bloom.
"Not all harmful algae are colored red though, and not every algae bloom is harmful, but it is still a mystery what
triggers algae to produce the neurotoxin," Figlar-Barnes said. "When the toxin occurs, the poisonings can affect sea
animals, birds, and humans."

How Much Tire Residue Does it Take to Kill a Fish?
After six years of learning how coho and chum salmon are affected by runoff from urban streets, scientists are
narrowing down which pollutant is most responsible for killing fish.
This year's annual pre-spawning mortality study at Suquamish Tribe's Grovers Creek Hatchery in Poulsbo,
Washington, has been focused on how tire residue affects juvenile and adult coho and chum salmon.
"We want to figure out which concentration of the tire residue in the water will kill fish and how long after exposure
do the fish become sick and die," said Jen Mclntyre, aquatic ecotoxicologist for Washington State University, who
has overseen the last few years of the project. Other partners include U.S. Fish and Wildlife Sendee, University of
Washington, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Fish are exposed to the polluted water for 24 hours or less, and then pulled from the tank and observed for normal
or abnormal behavior. Fish that appear to be dying have their blood and organ tissues sampled.
Scientists also are observing how the polluted water affects chum and coho differently. In the past, chum haven't
been fazed by polluted water, but coho have died within hours.
"Chemicals that leach from tire particles are part of the complex chemical mixture of urban runoff," Mclntyre said.
The yearly work at Grovers Creek is part of a larger effort to understand the causes and consequences of coho pre-
spawn mortality in urban watersheds.
Other regionwide studies have included a land-use analysis of stormwater runoff using data from stream surveys
collected from 2000-2011 by the Suquamish and Stillaguamish tribes, and other private groups and federal
agencies, including Wild Fish Conservancy.
"A major take-home of the work is that it looks like the chemicals causing the most problems are coming from
motor vehicles," said Nat Scholz, lead for the ecotoxicology program at NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center.
"The greater the traffic density within a given geographic area, the stronger the association with the mortality
syndrome."

Recently Awarded Research
EPA Awards Pacific Northwest Tribes Just Over $2 Million for Water
Quality Protection and Restoration
On December 12, 2017, EPA awarded $1,039,686 to support 32 tribes with their nonpoint source pollution
programs. Ten of the tribes received an additional $975,548 under EPA's competitive grant program for specific
restoration and protection projects. Overall, these funds boost tribal water quality programs across three Northwest
states to help protect people's health and the environment.
These grant funds are distributed to tribes through the Section 319 Nonpoint Source Program of the CWA, aimed at
fostering environmental programs that address nonpoint source pollution in surface and groundwater so tribes can
restore and protect their waters in Indian country.
The base funding of $1,039,686 was distributed to Northwest tribes that demonstrated interest, capacity, and
authority to run nonpoint pollution prevention programs within their reservation boundaries. Those tribes were:

Under the competitive program, EPA selected ten Pacific Northwest proposals from the following tribes: Coeur
d'Alene, Colville, Lummi, Nez Perce, Quinault, Siletz, Spokane, Umatilla, Upper Skagit, and Makah.
Projects will include:
Reducing sediment from forest roads.
Controlling invasive species in degraded
riparian areas.
Reducing a creek's water temperature by
restoring the stream channel.
Replacing culverts to enable fish passage.
Increasing groundwater recharge by
constructing artificial beaver dams.
Creating stream channel stability by planting 35
acres of floodplain.
Improving salmon habitat through installation
of engineered logjams.
Some Project Highlights:
Controlling Invasive Species to Improve Water Quality
The Quinault Indian Nation will focus on improving the quality of the reservation's waters through implementation
of a holistic invasive species removal program, which will include following up on treated areas to ensure that the
invasive species have been eradicated, conducting initial treatment in untreated areas on the Lower Quinault River,
revegetating treated riparian areas to prevent invasive species from growing back, and developing a native plant
watershed-based stewardship plan. ($100,000)
Restoration of the Historic Hangman Creek Stream Channels
Resources from this grant will go to the Coeur d'Alene Tribe to support the reduction of sediment and turbidity in
Hangman Creek, a stream with recognized water quality impairment. The tribe is reestablishing flows within a
former creek channel and reconnecting the creek to its floodplain. This project will contribute to that larger project
by revegetating the restored channels and floodplains and planting over 35 acres to ensure the long-term stability of
the stream. ($87,907)

Reducing Hydrologic and Habitat Modifications in the Siletz River Basin
The Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians will use grant funds to create four (of a total of 17) in-stream large
wood and boulder structures to enhance salmonid and larval lamprey rearing habitats in the Siletz River. These
structures will reduce stream velocities and increase channel habitat complexity, improving water quality and
beneficial uses. ($100,000)
Background on Section 319 of the Clean Water Act
Contributions of nonpoint source pollution encompass a wide range of sources that are not always subject to federal
or state regulation. These sources include agricultural runoff, unpermitted urban runoff, abandoned mine drainage,
failing onsite disposal systems, and pollution caused by changes to natural stream channels.
Congress enacted Section 319 of the CWA in 1987, establishing a national program to control nonpoint sources of
water pollution. Through Section 319, the EPA provides states, territories, and tribes with guidance and grant
funding to implement their nonpoint source programs and to support local watershed projects to improve water
quality. Collectively this work has restored over 6,000 miles of streams and over 164,000 acres of lakes since 2006.
Hundreds of additional projects are underway across the country.
