 Hello, I'm Sally Stockwell, Director of Conservation at Maine Audubon. Did you know that lead from lost or discarded fishing gear is a leading cause of death for adult loons? That's why lead tackle less than two and a half inches long or weighing less than one ounce is not allowed in Maine. Please help Maine's fish and loon populations thrive by using lead-free tackle. Visit fishleadfree.org for more information and to learn where you can turn in your old lead tackle. Thanks for doing your part to keep Maine's wildlife healthy.
