Memphis has a taste of its own. You know, with the sauces and the rubs. Mid-Texas, they have theirs in between,” Evans said. “So, I came up with California -Southern barbecue because we’re from Arkansas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Evans family hails from Lewisville, population 1,280, between Hope and Texarkana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My grandpa bought some land in Arkansas.

Kaiser developed four ship-building facilities in the city, where nearly 750 ships were built. The population of Richmond nearly quadrupled as women, African Americans and out-of-state workers were recruited for the war effort. Evans’s father worked as a welder. His aunt had a job here, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She was a Rosie the Riveter,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans was a “wartime baby,” one of 11 kids of Joseph and Flora Evans.

Evans learned Southern soul food recipes from her. His dad was the barbecue guy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He used to cook it in the backyard. He had made a pit out of an old washing machine, took the side out, took his torch, cut a hole in it. Let it smoke. He took an old refrigerator, gutted it, and put him some racks in there. They were inventive back then.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans never planned on starting a restaurant. He drove for the East Bay’s public bus system.“I was driving a bus for AC Transit, routes 72P, 72M, from here to Oakland, 105 stops going and 105 stops coming back. Then I drove the school bus in the afternoon, picking up school kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a back injury ended that career, he turned to the food he’d been taught to make his whole life. He took cooking classes at Contra Costa College and a meat-cutting course in Southern California before opening a (now closed) place in Fairfield and then this spot in Richmond 30 years ago.[aside postID=news_12042713 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250301-ANDERSONVALLEYGRANGE-01-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg']He said he started off small, with only two or three slabs of ribs a day.

And he’s super hands-on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not just [a] sit-down boss, I’m a working boss,” he said, prepping what he calls the “chop chop” for CJ’s macaroni salad, which he makes 10 gallons of on an average Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We call it chop chop — that’s the onion, bell pepper, celery.

They can tell when I didn’t make something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reddick nodded his head in agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to Evans to be consistent, to be a reliable spot in Richmond, a city that’s had a lot of good times and a lot of hard times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Back in the day of the wartime, everybody was bustling out here,” he said. “Shipyards, everything during the war.

Seven bishops, representing dioceses from San Diego to Sacramento, delivered communion and a sermon. The bishops could not speak directly with detainees, but San Jose Bishop Oscar Cantú said the visit was meant to show solidarity. “We want to be close to the people who are suffering now,” he said. “That’s what today was about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a statement raising concerns about immigration raids and conditions in detention centers. They urged the federal government to allow broader pastoral access. Cantú said Wednesday’s mass was a public example of California bishops standing behind that call. The California Catholic Conference says bishops plan to visit additional detention centers next year and will continue requesting entry to facilities across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Farmworkers Sue Trump Administration Over Wages\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Farmworkers across the country \u003ca href=\"https://ufwfoundation.org/u-s-farm-workers-sue-trump-administration-to-save-american-farm-jobs-and-wages/\">are suing the Trump administration\u003c/a> over a new rule that would change the guest worker visa program, H-2A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On October 2, the Department of Labor announced a new rule that cuts the wages of H-2A workers between $5 to $7 per hour.

It’s certainly bad news for the Mexican workers that are brought in,” he said. “They’re gonna get paid less.” Sumner said the move could help ease headwinds battering the state’s $60 billion agriculture industry, from rising labor costs to tariffs. But those savings likely won’t be passed on to consumers. ” Will you and I notice at the grocery store? I will, because I’m obsessive about these things,” Sumner said. “But the average consumer won’t notice a 1% lower price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/housing-homelessness/housing-advocates-sue-newsom-local-leaders-duplex-ban-fire-recovery-zones\">\u003cstrong>Housing Advocates Sue Newsom, Local Leaders Over Duplex Ban In Fire Recovery Zones\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The fight over how much new housing should be allowed in neighborhoods rebuilding from the Palisades and Eaton fires is headed to court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for increased housing construction filed \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aCRWxH2GnveBETGwx_tI1pBoEXTVJMl8/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>a lawsuit\u003c/u>\u003c/a> Wednesday against Gov.

Seven bishops, representing dioceses from San Diego to Sacramento, delivered communion and a sermon. The bishops could not speak directly with detainees, but San Jose Bishop Oscar Cantú said the visit was meant to show solidarity. “We want to be close to the people who are suffering now,” he said. “That’s what today was about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a statement raising concerns about immigration raids and conditions in detention centers. They urged the federal government to allow broader pastoral access. Cantú said Wednesday’s mass was a public example of California bishops standing behind that call. The California Catholic Conference says bishops plan to visit additional detention centers next year and will continue requesting entry to facilities across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Farmworkers Sue Trump Administration Over Wages\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Farmworkers across the country \u003ca href=\"https://ufwfoundation.org/u-s-farm-workers-sue-trump-administration-to-save-american-farm-jobs-and-wages/\">are suing the Trump administration\u003c/a> over a new rule that would change the guest worker visa program, H-2A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But those savings likely won’t be passed on to consumers. ” Will you and I notice at the grocery store?

The company is the largest owner of shopping malls in the country, including Las Americas, the sprawling complex next to the San Ysidro border crossing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, he embraced the automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras from Flock Safety, an Atlanta-based surveillance technology company. The former employee believed the ALPR system would help address shoplifting and solve serious crimes that occasionally happened around the mall, like robberies and vehicle theft. And then he realized the power — and scope — of the license plate surveillance system. Flock can help users analyze patterns of movement and potential associations between drivers. And Simon Property Group gave several law enforcement agencies open access to search and receive notifications from its ALPR system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If people knew more about it, I would say people will obviously be pissed off,” he said. “Nobody wants big brother watching you on every single little thing.” The former employee agreed to speak with KPBS on the condition of anonymity, fearing professional consequences for discussing company policies. A spokesperson for Simon Property Group did not respond to multiple requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The use of license plate reader technology has long been a flashpoint between law enforcement and privacy advocates. In recent years, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_201520160sb34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">California has established certain guardrails\u003c/a> for ALPR networks owned by police departments and other public entities, including restrictions on how the data can be shared. The systems are also subject to public records requests. But those safeguards don’t apply to the many private businesses — including Home Depot, Lowe’s, the Southwestern Yacht Club, Fashion Valley mall and homeowners associations — that give police access to their license plate readers. These private systems effectively serve as a wide-ranging extension of law enforcement’s surveillance apparatus — even though the private businesses are not subject to the same public scrutiny and transparency requirements. A KPBS review of more than 1,500 pages of police records reveals law enforcement agencies in San Diego County have access to dozens of local private Flock camera networks, which include over 150 previously undisclosed license plate readers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Veterinarian Group Questions Declawing Ban\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A new law banning cat declawing in California \u003ca href=\"https://a24.asmdc.org/press-releases/20251203-californias-bill-ban-cat-declawing-will-take-effect-2026\">is set to take effect next year.\u003c/a> West Hollywood was the first city to outlaw cat declawing, back in 2003. San Francisco, Berkeley, and several other California cities later followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Declawing isn’t just trimming nails — a veterinarian removes the first bone of each toe. Erik Olstad is a veterinarian at UC Davis. He says there are far better options to prevent scratching, like “soft paws,” rubber coverings that fit over a cat’s nails. “There’s so many other things we can do versus chopping off fingers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olstad — along with the California Veterinary Medical Association — does not support the statewide ban. He says the procedure is already rare, and sometimes medically necessary. For example, an immunocompromised owner could face a dangerous infection if scratched.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/poisonous-wild-mushrooms-california-monterey-san-francisco-cba09ed69bdd26450ee24cb5518efaba\">\u003cstrong>California Officials Warn Against Foraging Wild Mushrooms \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California officials are warning foragers after \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/NR25-023.aspx\">an outbreak of poisoning linked to wild mushrooms\u003c/a> that has killed one adult and caused severe liver damage in several patients, including children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state poison control system has identified 21 cases of amatoxin poisoning, likely caused by death cap mushrooms, the health department said Friday. The toxic wild mushrooms are often mistaken for edible ones because of their appearance and taste. “Death cap mushrooms contain potentially deadly toxins that can lead to liver failure,” Erica Pan, director of the California Department of Public Health, said in a statement. “Because the death cap can easily be mistaken for edible safe mushrooms, we advise the public not to forage for wild mushrooms at all during this high-risk season.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/midwest-mushroom-boom-poisonings-a9ed612ba66b1690201bc8fc402ebbb1\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">Wet weather\u003c/a>\u003c/span> fuels the growth of death cap mushrooms, and officials warn against any wild mushroom foraging to avoid confusion.

In recent years, \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_201520160sb34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">California has established certain guardrails\u003c/a> for ALPR networks owned by police departments and other public entities, including restrictions on how the data can be shared. The systems are also subject to public records requests. But those safeguards don’t apply to the many private businesses — including Home Depot, Lowe’s, the Southwestern Yacht Club, Fashion Valley mall and homeowners associations — that give police access to their license plate readers. These private systems effectively serve as a wide-ranging extension of law enforcement’s surveillance apparatus — even though the private businesses are not subject to the same public scrutiny and transparency requirements. A KPBS review of more than 1,500 pages of police records reveals law enforcement agencies in San Diego County have access to dozens of local private Flock camera networks, which include over 150 previously undisclosed license plate readers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Veterinarian Group Questions Declawing Ban\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A new law banning cat declawing in California \u003ca href=\"https://a24.asmdc.org/press-releases/20251203-californias-bill-ban-cat-declawing-will-take-effect-2026\">is set to take effect next year.\u003c/a> West Hollywood was the first city to outlaw cat declawing, back in 2003. San Francisco, Berkeley, and several other California cities later followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Declawing isn’t just trimming nails — a veterinarian removes the first bone of each toe. Erik Olstad is a veterinarian at UC Davis. He says there are far better options to prevent scratching, like “soft paws,” rubber coverings that fit over a cat’s nails. “There’s so many other things we can do versus chopping off fingers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olstad — along with the California Veterinary Medical Association — does not support the statewide ban. He says the procedure is already rare, and sometimes medically necessary. For example, an immunocompromised owner could face a dangerous infection if scratched.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/poisonous-wild-mushrooms-california-monterey-san-francisco-cba09ed69bdd26450ee24cb5518efaba\">\u003cstrong>California Officials Warn Against Foraging Wild Mushrooms \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California officials are warning foragers after \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/NR25-023.aspx\">an outbreak of poisoning linked to wild mushrooms\u003c/a> that has killed one adult and caused severe liver damage in several patients, including children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state poison control system has identified 21 cases of amatoxin poisoning, likely caused by death cap mushrooms, the health department said Friday. The toxic wild mushrooms are often mistaken for edible ones because of their appearance and taste. “Death cap mushrooms contain potentially deadly toxins that can lead to liver failure,” Erica Pan, director of the California Department of Public Health, said in a statement. “Because the death cap can easily be mistaken for edible safe mushrooms, we advise the public not to forage for wild mushrooms at all during this high-risk season.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/midwest-mushroom-boom-poisonings-a9ed612ba66b1690201bc8fc402ebbb1\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">Wet weather\u003c/a>\u003c/span> fuels the growth of death cap mushrooms, and officials warn against any wild mushroom foraging to avoid confusion. Residents in central California’s Monterey County became ill after eating mushrooms found in a local park, according to county health officials. Another cluster of cases were in the Bay Area, but state health officials warned that the risk is everywhere.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But after years of starts and stops, some saw it as little more than a pipe dream. Now though, local officials feel that vision is finally beginning to take shape. City officials have laid the groundwork for a sprawling campus on 380 acres of city-owned land in the rolling hills between East Chula Vista’s suburban outskirts and the Lower Otay Reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this wouldn’t be a typical four-year public university. Instead, it would be a multi-university campus that houses academic programs from other universities, community colleges, and even high schools across the San Diego-Tijuana region. It would also focus more narrowly on degrees that would serve major industries in the South Bay like health care and binational trade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wasn’t always the plan. Officials had previously hoped for a Cal State or UC campus, but the financial and political hurdles were always too high. And to be clear, a physical university campus in San Diego County’s second-largest city is still years away at the earliest. However, there is a growing sense that this new vision is more realistic than previous plans. “People have tried to do this for over 30 years, and we haven’t had the type of significant steps forward that we’ve had in the last couple of years,” said State Assemblymember David Alvarez (D-Chula Vista).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason for the optimism is earlier this year Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Alvarez authored that establishes a \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/education/2025/10/16/california-will-take-a-closer-look-at-bringing-a-public-university-campus-to-chula-vista\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">\u003cu>task force\u003c/u>\u003c/a> to explore funding for a physical campus. Also, the academic infrastructure is already being built. SDSU, UCSD and CSU San Marcos have each announced plans to begin offering degrees in Chula Vista in industries that are prominent in the South Bay – like nursing, public health, business and cybersecurity. The overall goal, Alvarez said, is to give students a better chance of getting a job swiftly after graduation. “We need to offer an education that actually gets people a job,” he said. “Not just gets them a BA, a certificate or a degree, but gets them into the workforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArticlePage-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/huntington-beach-loses-challenge-to-california-sanctuary-law\">\u003cstrong>Huntington Beach Loses Legal Challenge Of California’s Sanctuary Law\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit from Huntington Beach challenging the state’s sanctuary law.

When the fire broke out, they had already been collecting soil samples \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026477/after-toxic-monterey-battery-fire-scientists-keep-watch-over-sensitive-ecosystem\">from nearby Elkhorn Slough\u003c/a>, a sanctuary for endangered wildlife, so they had baseline data for comparison. After the fire, they tested for nickel, manganese and cobalt — the primary elements used in lithium-ion batteries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using a powerful electron microscope, they saw tiny beads of those metals in the soil. “That was pretty much a smoking gun,” Aiello said. Concentrations \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024233/monterey-county-battery-fire-linked-surge-heavy-metals-nature-reserves-soil\">of the metals\u003c/a> were between 10 and 1,000 times greater than they had been before the fire. They also found that the correlation of nickel to cobalt followed a strict 2:1 ratio — the same proportion used in manufacturing the batteries at the Vistra facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://elkhornslough.org/files/publications/EMBER-Preliminary-Biota-Report-November-2025.pdf\">Preliminary test results\u003c/a> from another \u003ca href=\"https://mlml.sjsu.edu/estuary-monitoring-of-battery-emissions-and-residues/\">team of San José State scientists\u003c/a> give some indication that the metals, which can be toxic above certain concentrations, have entered the food chain in the nearby estuary.

When the fire broke out, they had already been collecting soil samples \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026477/after-toxic-monterey-battery-fire-scientists-keep-watch-over-sensitive-ecosystem\">from nearby Elkhorn Slough\u003c/a>, a sanctuary for endangered wildlife, so they had baseline data for comparison. After the fire, they tested for nickel, manganese and cobalt — the primary elements used in lithium-ion batteries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using a powerful electron microscope, they saw tiny beads of those metals in the soil. “That was pretty much a smoking gun,” Aiello said. Concentrations \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024233/monterey-county-battery-fire-linked-surge-heavy-metals-nature-reserves-soil\">of the metals\u003c/a> were between 10 and 1,000 times greater than they had been before the fire. They also found that the correlation of nickel to cobalt followed a strict 2:1 ratio — the same proportion used in manufacturing the batteries at the Vistra facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He then toggled over to Caltrans’ real-time traffic map, looking for highway slowdowns that could indicate the fire’s location. Emergency radio feeds streamed in his headphones, allowing him to monitor fire response chatter. “I usually have two feeds going,” Winstead said — one in either ear. He switched between tabs and windows with the keystroke fluency of a seasoned pro. But if you’re picturing Winstead working in a command center surrounded by walls of monitors and high tech equipment, think again. The recent college grad was toiling away in the bedroom of his UTC apartment, using a small MacBook, a single monitor and a radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But from this unassuming setup, Winstead holds tremendous responsibility. When he and a volunteer colleague confirmed the Carlsbad fire was real and posed a risk to nearby residents, Winstead sent a notification to Watch Duty’s San Diego County subscribers. The alert lit up more than half a million phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watch Duty is quickly becoming an essential tool for both everyday residents and emergency responders who need fast, reliable information when a wildfire ignites. Launched in 2021 in Santa Rosa, the app’s coverage area has spread from just a few Northern California counties to roughly half of the United States. \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.watchduty.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Duty\u003c/a> combines information about wildfires and evacuations from a variety of sources in one central place. Paid staff reporters and an army of volunteer contributors provide real-time updates based on changing conditions and emergency radio traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1996878/toxic-catch-bay-area-communities-at-risk-pfas-local-fish\">Toxic Catch: Bay Area Communities At Risk From PFAS In Local Fish\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>People have always fished in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/bay-area\">San Francisco Bay\u003c/a>. But they may also unknowingly consume unhealthy levels of persistent, dangerous chemicals with their catch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A study published this year from researchers at the San Francisco Estuary Institute found that 10 species of commonly consumed fish from the Bay frequently contain high levels of “forever chemicals,” which can take hundreds to thousands of years to break down and accumulate in the people and animals that eat them. The South Bay, the study found, is especially polluted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Study author Rebecca Sutton said she and colleagues have been worried about perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, in local fish for decades. The study examined the prevalence of PFAS in shiner surfperch, striped bass, white croaker and seven other sport fish from the Bay over the last ten years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our concern is that there are a lot of fishing communities who eat a significant amount of fish from the Bay, and they could be more exposed to these highly toxic chemicals,” Sutton said. “With this study, we’re trying to assess the level of risk.” The findings were staggering: In sampling nearly 100 fish between 2009 and 2019, effectively every sample contained PFAS. More than 80% of fish from the South Bay, which has less tidal “flushing” than other communities and more runoff from highly urbanized areas, had more PFAS than some state standards consider safe to eat once a week. The southern waterways tested were Coyote Creek, Redwood Creek and Artesian Slough.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He then toggled over to Caltrans’ real-time traffic map, looking for highway slowdowns that could indicate the fire’s location. Emergency radio feeds streamed in his headphones, allowing him to monitor fire response chatter. “I usually have two feeds going,” Winstead said — one in either ear. He switched between tabs and windows with the keystroke fluency of a seasoned pro. But if you’re picturing Winstead working in a command center surrounded by walls of monitors and high tech equipment, think again. The recent college grad was toiling away in the bedroom of his UTC apartment, using a small MacBook, a single monitor and a radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But from this unassuming setup, Winstead holds tremendous responsibility. When he and a volunteer colleague confirmed the Carlsbad fire was real and posed a risk to nearby residents, Winstead sent a notification to Watch Duty’s San Diego County subscribers. The alert lit up more than half a million phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watch Duty is quickly becoming an essential tool for both everyday residents and emergency responders who need fast, reliable information when a wildfire ignites. Launched in 2021 in Santa Rosa, the app’s coverage area has spread from just a few Northern California counties to roughly half of the United States. \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.watchduty.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Duty\u003c/a> combines information about wildfires and evacuations from a variety of sources in one central place.

The South Bay, the study found, is especially polluted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Study author Rebecca Sutton said she and colleagues have been worried about perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, in local fish for decades. The study examined the prevalence of PFAS in shiner surfperch, striped bass, white croaker and seven other sport fish from the Bay over the last ten years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our concern is that there are a lot of fishing communities who eat a significant amount of fish from the Bay, and they could be more exposed to these highly toxic chemicals,” Sutton said. “With this study, we’re trying to assess the level of risk.” The findings were staggering: In sampling nearly 100 fish between 2009 and 2019, effectively every sample contained PFAS. More than 80% of fish from the South Bay, which has less tidal “flushing” than other communities and more runoff from highly urbanized areas, had more PFAS than some state standards consider safe to eat once a week. The southern waterways tested were Coyote Creek, Redwood Creek and Artesian Slough.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
