As fishermen we should be aware of the dangers of both monofilament and braided line to wildlife. We should be using a container to hold all the pieces of line we break off, or cut off, and take it to a recycling center that are located at docks and marinas, or dispose of it at home. Educating fisherman on this topic is something that has been started but needs to be continued through social and other media. Volunteer opportunities exist that could generate community service hours to place recycling containers at various locations to be used by fishermen, or to educate the public at various events.
