The Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program (MRRP) is a Florida-wide initiative to reduce the impact of discarded fishing lines on marine life and the environment.
Improperly discarded lines harm marine mammals, sea turtles, fish, and birds. In partnership with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Brevard County Natural Resource Management, the Waterway Warriors have added recycling containers to our barrels in popular fishing spots. These containers help raise awareness about the harmful effects of fishing line debris, provide convenient disposal locations, and promote recycling. Volunteers maintain the containers, with costs covered by the Waterway Warriors.
However, due to rising material costs, we’re limited in the number of containers we can provide. We’d love to have more recycling containers on many more barrels! Can you help?
