Abstract
As the result of a graduate student project aimed at reviewing the management of and monitoring for chemical contamination of Galveston Bay seafood, it was concluded that current procedures for chemical and contamination monitoring, assessing health risks, and informing the public about potential hazards are insufficient for assuring public health. The goal of this paper is to highlight some of the noted insufficiencies, from a citizen's viewpoint, and to make several recommendations for Galveston Bay management of human health risks.
