Did you know that
fishing line is a major pollutant in area waterways and can entangle
and cause harm to wildlife, boat propellers and even people?
Additionally, ingestion is deadly to fish and waterfowl.
The Crystal Lake Park
District is installing Monofilament Recycling Receptacles at fishing
pier locations through the parks. These receptacles will be installed
near the fishing piers at Main Beach, West Beach, Veteran Acres and
Woodscreek Park. Installation is expected to be completed by October
1. Fishermen are asked to collect and deposit used fishing line in
the receptacles in an effort to keep our waters clean and our
wildlife safe. Used fishing line will be collected and used to
construct underwater fish spawning structures.
