Fishing Line Cleanup
Fishing line entanglement and ingestion is a serious threat to the survival of wading birds. Staff and volunteers
clean nesting islands and potential nesting islands twice a year; once before the nesting season begins in early
February and again after the nesting season ends in late October.

Waterbird Monitoring
Surveying and documenting trends in wading bird
populations will help document the preservation of
biodiversity in the Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserves.
Volunteers play a vital role in the monitoring and
protection program because the program is able to cover
larger areas and monitor more islands.
