Did you know that the Great Lakes are the biggest freshwater source in the world? Lake Erie is the most productive for fishing of all the Great Lakes. Your support helps make our streams clean, clear and healthy so they can support this complex ecosystem. By donating to PCS, you help us reach our goals of restoring rivers that lead to Lake Erie beaches that promote fishable and swimmable conditions for generations.

FishiglinebinsAnglers have their waders on, poles in hand, and hooks on their line. And we are putting up our Fishing Line Recycling Bins to recycle the used monofilament line. But we need help! We need volunteers to help monitor and track the line in Fishing Line Recycling Bins that are around the area. Some of the locations are Maumee Bait and Tackle, W.W. Knight Preserve, ZAP Lures and Three Meadows Pond, among many others. Once collected, the line is shipped to the Berkley Conservation Institute and repurposed into fishing products and fish habitat structures. This is perfect for getting volunteer hours and fostering long term care of the rivers for youth groups or corporations. You can also personally support the program by sponsoring a bin, in which case your name or company’s logo is placed on the educational signage. You can learn more and register to Adopt or Sponsor a bin at http://partnersforcleanstreams.org/events/reel-in-and-recycle. Let the fishing begin!
