Which ones of the injured do you like?

[Rajame]

emc, beans, booni and all the contributors, THANK YOU! This is a worthy cause and we can make the difference here. And all you who are volunteering to help put the posters out (Kristy) you rock!!

I think these pictures are impactful.

Mary Jane's first one looks good, and is royalty free! But there is a fee...

The third one, of the swan is dramatic. I also like that it isn't a cormorant, pelican, or seagull, who are all known to try and get a fish that is being reeled in. ( so their injuries  are dismissed by some people)


From the last link:


The other ones won't show well enough, imo.

Butting in here - sorry if I shouldn't . . . With the recent incident involving "toes" . . . How about

Tow the Line

So they don't have too

Just an idle thought

I did really like "find the line", as that didn't imply guilt.

you didn't leave it - you just found it - but still responsible for removing it.

Thank you Faithy for your opinion.  We want it and need opinions. 

I like Find the Line too.  Those that lose their line accidentally, usually can't retrieve it.But if it frees up later, someone could...

[Rajame]

It is hard to know what is there emc.

[emc]

Rajame, you think the plastic six pack rings don't show up well?  Not eye catching in the least.... x that one...

[Rajame]

Yes emc that is what I think. I would X it.

[Faithyv]

That poor turtle.      disposing of these items properly is soooooo important!

This week I'm going out to the marina to take some pictures.  If I'm lucky, I'll find a brown pelican.  Most like it will be gulls, but they are always getting entangled in fishing line, too.  I'll get a high def pic suitable for printing a poster.  None of my pics are copyrighted, so anyone can use them.

Does anyone know of a picture hosting service that will allow uploads a big pics?  PhotoBucket has a limit (I think it's 800px wide) and we need a site that will allow 2000 or even more.

We need a big pic of eagle above to blow up to poster size.  

Another idea is to simply print up small cards and hand them out at docks, etc.  Here's an example:  I imported the pictures to MsWord document.  I can put cardstock in my computer and print out a few pages.  Then I get a paper cutter and cut them apart.  Voila!  Small pictures to hand out.  One does not need to start with a big picture to do this project.  And anyone with access to a color printer could do this.  Even black and white might work.



On my pics, I would print "fishing line kills birds" so the people I give the cards to would know that I'm trying to save the birds.

"Find the line" does not work for me. Mind Your Line tells fishermen/women to watch their line and carry it out. Find the line may be a lot of things - the line for corn dogs?  .
