Fishing Line Recycling Program

 9/4/2022

HPA Continues its support of fishing line recycling on Hawaii Island

Laura Jim, Co-director STRP and Leader of the HPA Marine Studies Program, has been active with the community and HPA students  to put out fishing line recycling collection tubes at several places on the leeward coast.  

According to Ms Jim, "On September 5,2022 our team installed three more fishing line recycling bins in South Kohala with the support of Hawaii County Parks. These bins are now located at Mahukona Pier (north), Mahukona South (near pavilion) and Kapaa and will be serviced by Wendy Noritake, a friend and collaborator of the program."

Below are some pictures of the installation.
