| 説明 | There’s not a pier I visit that doesn’t have some level of dangerously discarded fishing monofilament, hooks, and other wildlife hazards. These photos were shot at the Coast Guard pier in Monterey, and these particular hooks and lines were cast in the “no fishing” area, behind a fence. So many of the rocks on the breakwater have monofilament wrapped around the mussels, in the same areas where birds and sea lions haul out. This is a pier where there are many disposal receptacles for fishing monofilament. Fisher people cast in the same areas where cormorants nest, raise their young, and forage for food and nesting material. This photo shows a California sea lion with an entanglement injury. This sea lion was one of the fortunate ones, rescued, with the strangulation element removed. Even after removal, the sea lion bears the significant scar from that injury. Fishing gear entanglements are, unequivocally, the most frequent wildlife injuries I see. Sometimes the animals can be rescued, sometimes they cannot. For as much harm as stray fishing gear does, I wish fishing were prohibited in areas where the wildlife hazards are particularly acute.My recent blog post on this issue: www.ingridtaylar.com/fishing-gear-and-wildlife-injury |
