Shorebird Rescue Sign
Last month, we installed new shorebird rescue signage on the Juno Beach Pier. Now, any angler that accidentally entangles or hooks a bird while fishing will know exactly how to rescue the animal and the proper phone numbers to call for help. If you see a hooked or entangled shorebird, please call FWC at 888-404-3922.
You can help prevent shorebird interactions while fishing by following the tips below:
- Do not feed birds extra bait or fish carcasses.
- Properly dispose of excess and unwanted fishing line, as well as other trash.
- Do not leave poles unattended.
- Cover bait and don’t dump it on the ground.
- Cast with care. Do not cast near a bird or near areas where your line may get caught.
