Fishing Line Collection Boxes

The Fishing Line Collection Box Project continues. Recently a number of these boxes were turned over to the Jones Beach Superintendant for installation at his facility. As part of a joint effort Montauk Surfcasters Association and LIBBA are sponsoring the construction of these line collection boxes. These boxes are being installed numerous fishing areas. Look for a box at your favorite area and please make use of them. All collected line is being reprocessed. Remember that discarded fishing line in the environment is the signature of a careless fisherman.
Thanks go to Willie Young, Bruno Panacciulli and ‘Cookie’ Rondinella for labor and materials toward this continued effort

CODE OF ETHICS
1. To enter and leave beaches on prescribed ways and not cross any dunes or dine line other than for emergency use.
2. To eliminate speeding and reckless driving.

6. To avoid littering the beach with trash, beer or soda cans, etc., by using trash barrels when available. When no other disposal facilities are available all refuse must be taken off the beach when leaving.

8. To conform to local regulations concerning the use of toilet facilities. Holding
