Sarasota Bay Nesting Birds Need Your Help

Sarasota Bay Nesting Birds Need Your Help!

Calling all boaters for the 2nd Annual Monofilament Cleanup

Each year, thousands of feet of fishing line become entangled on Sarasota Bay’s bird nesting islands and shorelines and pose a fatal hazard to birds and other wildlife. This cleanup event, co-sponsored by Save Our Seabirds and Audobon of Florida, helps to reduce the threat of entanglement while recycling the fishing line. Volunteers will remove snarled fishing line from mangroves and shorelines of Sarasota Bay’s colonial bird nesting islands.


• Meet at Save Our Seabirds Sanctuary
