AT: TMN Tuesdays Webinar Series -Texas Monofilament Recovery & Recycling Program

Virtual webinar, 12pm – 1pm.  Pre-Registration required.

Texas Master Naturalists – TMNTuesdays 2024 webinar series will be hosted on the the second Tuesday of each month (except March, occurs on first Tuesday) through the year. TMNTuesdays are a way to learn about top conservation issues of the state, earn advanced training hours, and interact with wildlife professionals from across the state!

Speaker: John O’Connell, Brazoria County Extension Agent and Cradle of Texas Chapter Advisor, and the Texas Master Naturalist Galveston Bay Area Chapter.  Presenting on the Texas Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program, John O’Connell, Brazoria County Extension Agent and Cradle of Texas TMN Advisor, will share how the program got started, how the chapter is involved and where others can get involved in their local waterways with collecting monofilament lines. Monofilament is another name for single-strand, high-density nylon fishing line that is used on fishing reels. Used line can be harmful to marine wildlife and boat motors. Birds and animals cannot see discarded monofilament fishing line, so it is easy for them to become tangled in it and starve, drown or lose a limb.
