Signs: Fishing line

A sign encouraging the collection of fishing line salvaged from the water in Hawaii

This sign and accompanying tube appeared at two local parks a couple of months ago. It’s part of a nationwide program to recycle discarded and snagged fishing line, which can be extremely harmful to marine life. The program has been going since the 1990s, but this is the first time it’s been available locally.

What a GREAT idea. I haven’t seen it here, but I’m going to look for it and suggest it to the local beaches.

  Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of fishing gear in the water so programs like this can really help, I think.

  I thought so too. Fishing lines and hooks can wreak havoc on marine life.

Seems like an excellent idea. Much more needed but it’s a start, Graham 😉💖
