Connecticut Audubon Society Executive Director Patrick Comins checks out a fishing line recycling container at Milford Point. Similar containers will soon be installed as part of a project also involving Black Rock In The Know, the Ash Creek Conservation Association, the Town of Fairfield, the City of Bridgeport, and the landowners or occupants of the land on which the bins are being placed. The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is collecting the line for recycling.
