Earlier today, it was announced that a partnership between the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC and Clear Your Gear, a volunteer fishing-line recycling program, has been formed.
The main purpose of this partnership is to ensure that BC’s waterways will stay clean and free of fishing gear for future generations.
Together, the organizations will facilitate the disposal and recycling of fishing lines and promote environmental stewardship with the help of freshwater fishers.
The society has now placed and spread out thirty fishing line receptacles across BC at places like high-use urban lakes, popular fishing docks, hatchery fishing ponds and high-traffic fishing areas.
These receptacles were manufactured by Clear Your Gear and they will be responsible turning the gear into new materials.
