Loons threatened by lead poisoning
Media Release
Jul. 9, 2006
Lead fishing tackle is threatening the common loon and other bird populations in northern Wisconsin, and a campaign aims to offer fishers alternatives.
"Get the Lead Out" is designed to educate them on the dangers of lead to loons, swans and bald eagles. This year, organizers are distributing display cards outlining the hazards of lead tackle and providing information on lead-free alternatives.
A single lead jig or sinker can poison and kill a loon. Non-toxic materials such as tin, bismuth, steel, tungsten or ceramic can replace lead in tackle boxes.
