Getting StartedThe Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program (MRRP) is an innovative project dedicated to reducing the environmental damage caused by discarded fishing line. Monofilament fishing line lasts up to 600 years in the environment where it entangles wildlife, is eaten by animals including birds, fish, manatees and sea turtles, and is hazardous to boaters and swimmers. MRRP strives to decrease the negative impacts of monofilament fishing line left in the environment by conducting regular cleanups and by encouraging anglers to recycle their used fishing line at tackle shops and outdoor bins. The pages provided in this portion of the website are designed to provide the information and materials needed to start the MRRP in your area. If you are in Florida and want to start a program, please view the Florida MRRP Program Guide. Questions on content and materials should be directed to: Good luck and happy fishing line recovery! |
