Monofilament Line Recycling Stations

Phase 1: Why recycle mono?

• Environmentally hazardous
  • Monofilament takes up to 500 years to decompose
  • armful to wildlife
• Potential prop damage
• Recycled mono has many uses
  • Fish habitat
  • Any plastic product

Phase 2: Placement & Collection

• CBM would choose a local lake for collection during the 2017 season
  • Ideally, weekly pick ups
  • Members would then bring collected line to monthly meetings
• CBM would register with Boat US Reel in & Recycle Program to track our contributions
  • http://www.boatus.org/monofilament/
• Line would be shipped to Berkley Fishing Line Recycling monthly

Phase 3: Broadening the Scope

• Depending upon the success of 2017…
  • Expansion to other bodies of water
  • Grant funding?
  • Possible impact on Buckeye Lake
    • Fish Habs
• Involvement w/ODNR

Artificial fish habitat or fish attractors

CBM takes a idea to and puts it together.

Bottom line the boys came together and got alot of work done.  Thanks to all that was able to participate.
