Description:The mercury debate has been ongoing for more than 30 years. However, a series of articles on mercury appeared in the Mobile Register beginning in July 2001. Not long afterwards it was evident that our Gulf needed a venue to provide answers to the questions regarding mercury in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. This public forum is a step toward a better understanding of the effects of mercury on humans and the environment, and how we communicate any risks to our coastal stakeholders through an organized approach of open dialogue and collaborative partnerships among the public, scientists, industry, environmentalis​ts, regulatory agencies, and risk communication specialists.
