With
all of the fishermen out there on local lakes, ponds, and streams,
we decided that this would be another great item to collect and
recycle from our residents. We will collect used monofilament
fishing line here at our office in Ebensburg. The line sent to
Berkley, maker of Berkley Trilene fishing line, who will then
recycle all of the used line to make artificial habitats for fish
and other aquatic life.
Berkley's "Fish Habs" were first developed in 1993 and have been used in many waters across the United States to rejuvenate the fish population and provide structure in otherwise barron waterways. The development of the "Fish Hab" was done in conjunction with the American Fisheries Society, and staff at the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Fish and Wildlife service. |
