New Fishing Line Recycling Stations Installed in Huron Shores to Help Protect Lakes and Wildlife HURON SHORES, ON – Anglers visiting Roe Park and Little Basswood Park & Boat Launch will now have a new way to help protect local waterways thanks to the installation of specialized Fishing Line Recycling Stations. The stations are part of a new regional initiative launched by the Central Algoma Land Trust (CALT) in partnership with Lake Huron North to address the growing environmental impacts of discarded fishing line across Central Algoma. Fishing line can remain in the environment for up to 600 years and is a leading cause of wildlife entanglement, affecting birds, fish, mammals, pets, and even people. Traditional household recycling programs do not accept fishing line, making proper disposal difficult for many anglers. The new stations provide a dedicated collection point where used, broken, or unwanted fishing line can be safely deposited and diverted from the environment. This is a simple but meaningful initiative that helps protect our lakes, shorelines, and wildlife while giving anglers a practical way to dispose of fishing line responsibly. The stations have been installed at: Roe Park, Sunset Beach Road Little Basswood Park & Boat Launch, Basswood Lake Road Funding provided through Lake Huron North enabled CALT to construct and deploy ten stations throughout the Central Algoma region. Once collected, the fishing line will be sorted by CALT staff and shipped out to be recycled into products such as tackle boxes, fishing line spools, and artificial fish habitat structures. The initiative reflects a growing regional effort to reduce shoreline pollution and prevent wildlife injuries before they occur. Residents and visitors are encouraged to use the stations whenever disposing of old fishing line and to help spread awareness about the importance of keeping fishing line out of the natural environment.
