Monofilament Recycling

Monofilament fishing line can last for centuries in the water, out of the sun's ultra-violet rays. Each year, thousands of animals and many boat propellers become tangled in discarded fishing line. Shorebirds, sea turtles, and manatees can starve to death, lose limbs, or drown because of entanglement. Human divers can also become tangled in line.

Please deposit used fishing line in designated recycling containers.
