Sarasota Bay Mono clean up
Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2010 5:33 am
2nd Annual Monofilament Cleanup Day
Boaters we need your help!
Each year, thousands of feet of fishing line become entangled on Sarasota Bay’s bird nesting islands and shorelines and pose a fatal hazard to birds and other wildlife. This cleanup event helps to reduce the threat of entanglement while recycling the fishing line.
All volunteers will meet at 8 AM at Save our Seabirds Sanctuary, 1708 Ken Thompson Parkway on City Island to go over the clean-up instructions and receive their equipment, data sheets and maps. Additionally, volunteers will be instructed on how to free entangled live birds they may encounter during the cleanup and where to transport the injured bird. When the volunteers have completed the cleanup, they will return to Save our Seabirds Sanctuary to turn in all equipment and data sheets. Refreshments will be provided.
The Second Annual Monofilament Cleanup Day, sponsored by Sarasota Bay Watch, Audubon of Florida, and Save Our Seabirds.
When: November 6th, 2010 8:00 AM through 12:00 PM
Location: Save Our Sea Birds Sanctuary, 1708 Ken Thompson Parkway, City Island (next to Mote), Sarasota, FL
