Last year, she completed an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audubon.org\/\">Audubon Society of America<\/a>\u2013funded study on brown pelican entanglement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe birds will be walking near the fishing areas and get a piece of fishing line wrapped around their feet or legs and eventually end up entangled,\u201d Fairl explained. Birds can die when they are unable to extract themselves from objects the fishing line gets caught on, including mangroves and other plants near the water.<\/p>\n<p>The monotube project had been on the radar of the <a href=\"\/green\/\">Office of Sustainability<\/a> for a while but came to fruition only after Sustainability Intern Angelina Kossoff resumed talks with Tampa Bay Watch last semester. Fairl said her club aided the installation by documenting the most popular fishing spots, according to students, to find the right places for the PVC monotubes. Four student workers will receive <a href=\"\/service-learning\/\">Reflective Service-Learning<\/a> credits for removing the contents of the monotubes monthly, documenting the amount, detangling and separating the fishing lines and hooks, and recycling them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eckerd.edu\/environmental-studies\/faculty\/forys\/\">Environmental Studies and Biology Professor Beth Forys<\/a> is the project\u2019s faculty supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>Signage from FWC that accompanies the tubes encourages anglers to properly discard lines and hooks, what to do if you accidentally hook a bird, and to refrain from feeding seabirds fishing scraps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t feed birds scraps because they could choke on them and also it teaches them the behavior of begging, which can also be very dangerous,\u201d Fairl said.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 100 members, Fairl said she hopes the Save Our Seabirds club can continue the work of monitoring the monotubes and helping campus fisherpeople when they accidentally hook birds long after she graduates.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":6725,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[242,45,89,55,203,159,84],"tags":[464,392,463,465,466,462],"class_list":{"0":"post-6717","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-animal-studies","8":"category-biology","9":"category-community-engagement","10":"category-environmental-studies","11":"category-service","12":"category-students","13":"category-sustainability","14":"tag-audubon-society","15":"tag-beth-forys","16":"tag-fish-and-wildlife-commission","17":"tag-fishing","18":"tag-seabird","19":"tag-tampa-bay-watch"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
