Pfiesteria? On September 27, 1999, the National Sea Grant College Program held a press conference to present the results of a Univ. of Delaware survey of coastal residents on their understanding of Pfiesteria and related issues at the National Press Club, Washington, DC. This survey reportedly found that nearly two-thirds of mid-Atlantic residents thought local seafood became unsafe to eat because of Pfiesteria events.
