Fishing gear entanglement has been identified as the main cause of death and injury for Brown Pelicans in Florida by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Audubon Florida.
In this five-minute video, Tampa Audubon Society, St. Petersburg Audubon Society, and Manatee County Audubon Society worked with videographer Dee Fairbanks Simpson to produce a short documentary describing the danger of fishing gear to birds, especially pelicans, and how fishermen can safely release entangled birds.
