Tampa Bay Watch is seeking the help of a few tenacious volunteers to support our Shells for Shorelines program to assist in collecting oyster shell donations from our partner restaurants on a weekly basis: Monday - Friday during business hours. Duties include picking up the shell, dropping them off at the curing pad, and delivering clean buckets to the restaurants. Volunteers should have the ability to lift 35 lbs, a personal vehicle (preferably a pickup truck) capable of carrying up to ten 5-gallon buckets, and comfortable with Florida flora and fauna typically associated with decomposition of organic matter. A required training is offered on Fridays at 8 AM by riding along with our staff on their route meeting in Tierra Verde.

Help us keep fishing line out of Tampa Bay! Tampa Bay Watch partners with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in their statewide initiative to recycle used fishing line through a network of monofilament collection tubes called "monotubes". Monofilament or "mono", is another term for the commonly used plastic fishing line which has great fishing utility, but takes over 600 years to break down! Improperly discarded line can end up in our local ecosystems and may result in wildlife entanglement, accidental hooks, and ingestion. Let’s keep fishing line out of our waterways! Adoption involves checking your designated location once a month to empty its contents and clean/prep the collected line for recycling. We are asking that volunteers commit a minimum of one year for any chosen site. The clean line will be contributed to FWC's statewide initiative for proper recycling and repurposing of used fishing line. Go to our webpage to learn more about our monofilament recycling program: https:// tampabaywatch.org/marine- debris/fishing-line-recycling/ . Take action to combat marine debris and protect our wildlife by adopting monotubes! We have two sites available: Courtney Campbell Causeway - 1 tube (Hillsborough side) - located near coordinates 27.969144, -82.629813 2. Skyway Fishing Pier North Side - 12 tubes - great opportunity for a family or group!
