Dive Summary:

• Officials from multiple organizations surrounding Lake Erie partnered to place bins around the lake that are used to collect used fishing line that will then be recycled into tackle boxes, monofilament spools and toys.
• The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Marine Debris program joined forces with the Ohio Clean Marinas Program to design the program, receiving the recycling bins from the Boat U.S. Foundations "Reel In and Recycle" program.
• ​The bins are placed in strategic locations along Lake Erie and the monofilament line is collected by volunteers who mail the used line to manufacturers who transform the line into new products.

From the article:

Boat U.S. has asked the agencies to record how much line they take in because it wants to track which areas have the highest amounts of line, she said. That information could show which areas need more bins.
