Show Notes
In this episode, we share what's happening with a recent attempt from many bird lovers to try and shut down fishing at one of the most popular fishing piers in the state.
As you'll hear in this episode, this is NOT an "us vs. them" - we all need to work together to ensure that anglers can keep fishing and that birds can keep living. We also firmly believe that shutting down a fishing pier from fishing is NOT the solution... that only moves the problem to a new area.
If you boil it down to a single problem is that there isn't enough education for fishermen on what to do (and what NEVER to do) when it comes to fishing around birds.
Moreover, we go into the steps to safely releasing a bird if you ever do hook into one.
Enjoy and tight lines.
