St. Petersburg, FL – The 22nd Annual Fishing Line Cleanup, organized by Tampa Bay Watch and Audubon of Florida and sponsored by Sea World Busch Gardens 
Conservation Fund and Restore America's Estuaries, will take place throughout the week of Saturday, September 26 - Sunday, October 4. Volunteers with boats are being recruited to remove tangled fishing line from mangroves and shorelines of specific bird habitat site assignment locations. Advanced registration on tampabaywatch.org allows captains and their volunteer crews to remove fishing line from protected bird colonies that otherwise are off limits to the public. This cleanup, scheduled in the fall when most birds are not nesting, effectively reduces the threat of entanglement for marine animals, including birds.
