Fishing Line and Wildlife

Coastal Connections visited marine science classes to sort marine debris for recycling and discuss the proper disposal of fishing gear. Wildlife entanglements and deaths due to discarded fishing gear are increasing rapidly, and this fishing debris represents over half of our oceanic plastic waste! Our students are part of the solution by consistently removing this debris from our community and educating others to fish responsibly. Coastal Connections has fishing line tubes in 40+ locations within Indian River County to collect and recycle fishing line and ensure it doesn't end up wrapped around or ingested by our dolphins, manatees, birds, turtles and other marine wildlife.
