Prepare and send the pier's recovered fishing line to a monofilament recycler, Indian Point Park, Portland, TX (City of Portland public park).

Bagged line from the route does nothing for the water it came out of if it sits in a bag; the recycling step is a real mail back or drop off program that turns old monofilament into new products, and it only works if someone actually consolidates and ships what the route collected.

$80 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

weighed-bundle photo + confirmed disposal option + shipping/drop-off record + cumulative log

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Combine the bagged line collected since the last shipment into one clean bundle, sorting any non-line trash (hooks, lures, wrappers) into separate disposal.
2. 2. Weigh the bundle and record the weight.
3. 3. Confirm whether this pier already uses a local monofilament drop-off bin or the mail-back program, and package the bundle following that confirmed option's instructions.
4. 4. Photograph the packaged bundle and the shipping or drop-off record.
5. 5. Log the cumulative pounds of line recovered and shipped since the route started.

What counts as done

• Confirmation that the disposal option used (drop-off bin or mail-back program) was the one confirmed for this pier
• Confirmation that the shipped or dropped-off bundle contained only recovered fishing line and hooks, no other trash
• Photo of the weighed, packaged bundle
• Shipping receipt or drop-off record photographed
• Cumulative pounds-recovered log entry updated

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Coastal Habitat. Coastal habitat is the green fringe where land meets sea: eelgrass meadows, kelp beds, salt marsh. Acre for acre these are among the most life-giving places on Earth, nursery to the fish and buffer to the storm, and NOAA's assessment methods exist because they are quietly shrinking. Mastery looks like a person who can survey a stretch of shore and say, with evidence, whether the meadow is spreading or retreating. This packet is one piece of that watching: one site, one careful observation, one record added to the long ledger of the coast.
