Protect Our Birds

 

-Please don't feed pelicans or other seabirds.  Feeding pelicans is prohibited by law.

 

-Discard fish carcasses in marked repositories or lidded trash can.  Many fish carcasses contain bones larger than the fish birds normally eat.  The larger bones can injure the birds.

 

-When fishing, cast away from birds and shoreline vegetation.

 

-Properly dispose of loose filament line.  Monofilament and fishing tackle left in our waters and vegetation can create traps that can lead to injury or death to seabirds and other wildlife.

 

-Keep bait buckets covered.

 

-Take unused bait home or dispose of it in an approved repository or a lidded trash can.
