Monofilament fishing line is a great tool for catching fish, but it can also pose problems for wildlife and the environment when it's left in nature, wrapping around fish gills and bird beaks, sometimes fatally.

Since 2016, the Monofilament Recovery & Recycling Program has helped place over 140 monofilament recycling receptacles at freshwater and marine fishing locations across the state.
