FOR RELEASE SATURDAY, MAY 21, 2016, AT 12:01 A.M. CDT. - This photo taken Oct. 22, 2009, shows retired biology teacher Leonard Anderson and his granddaughter Kylli, looking at a map to see where she caught a big catfish the summer before. Kylli wanted to eat the fish, but the St. Louis River has mercury advisories, warning pregnant women and young children not to eat certain fish. Anderson says if Minnesota allows copper-nickel mining, the mercury in the fish will only get worse. (Stephanie Hemphill/Minnesota Public Radio via AP) MANDATORY CREDIT
