The Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program (MRRP) is an innovative statewide project dedicated to reducing the environmental damage caused by discarded fishing line.
Reel In and Recycle!
Improperly discarded monofilament fishing line causes devastating problems for marine life and the environment. Marine mammals, sea turtles, fish, and birds become injured from entanglements, often dying as a result.
There's a Recycling Bin Near You!
The good news is that monofilament fishing line can be recycled! Over 40 Florida counties have recycling bins in place that YOU can use to help the marine environment.
Reel. Remove. Recycle – Don’t Leave Your Line Behind
The Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program (MRRP) is a statewide effort to educate the public on the consequences of monofilament line left in the environment, to encourage recycling through a network of line recycling bins and drop-off locations, and to promote volunteer cleanup events.
