Dear reader:
As the days warm up, its up to us, regardless, to seek or be alert for discarded fishing line and tackle (hooks) that may be within reach, that is a tremendous danger to our wildlife.
Here is one link of its bad effect upon birds and water creatures.

If you see fishing line around in our native habitat in Prospect Park ( or elsewhere)
1) please pick it up and bag it to throw into a trash receptacle.
2) email info@prospectpark.org or other local authority if its inaccessible . A staff person may get from a boat ,long pole, etc. Especially helpful is a google pinned map of the spot
Thank you
