Fishing line disposal

Arriving at the beach in Natures Valley on a recent visit I immediately spotted something a bit unusual.  A piece of down pipe attached to a pole with a sign on it.  On closer inspection I found out that it’s been placed there, and all around the beach in Nature’s Valley, for people to place fishing line they pick up from the beach in.  Fishing line is a huge threat to wildlife, specially birds and small mammals.  They often also contain hooks which can cause a lot of pain when stepped in.  I wish more towns would implement something like this for the good of the environment plus it’s a very cheap thing to do.  dispo
