Monofilament Fishing Line Recycling Project

Improperly discarded fishing line and tackle has been observed at access points. This litter poses a significant threat to local wildlife, with the potential to cause injury or even death to birds and aquatic mammals. To combat this issue, we have installed monofilament line recycling bins at popular fishing locations, providing a convenient way for anglers to properly dispose of their used line.
