Scouts, Tyndall environ team

TYNDALL AFB, Fla. - The Tyndall Air Force-based 325th Civil Engineer Squadron Natural Resources teamed with local Boy Scout Troop 302 of St. John’s Catholic Church to install a base-wide monofilament fishing line collection system to help maintain wildlife areas. Most fishing line is not biodegradable. Improperly discarded fishing line could kill marine mammals and birds that often can become entangled in or ingest the line. Base visitors can now dispose of unwanted and used fishing line in one of 15 recycling bins around Tyndall that are dedicated to that cause. (Source: Tyndall AFB 04/11/17)
