Ever since mankind walked the banks of the Cape Fear River they have fished to eat and, over time, to make a living.

But now the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services recommends limiting consumption of fish caught in the Cape Fear from Cumberland County all the way down to just north of Wilmington.

It comes as “forever chemicals” or PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances) were found in fish tissue. The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services said the recommendations are based on new data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
