Re: plastic bags and marine debris

"I also think it would be nice to see the fishing industry take the 'initiative'
and insist on bait being provided in a recycled/recyclable/biodegradable
container instead of the plastic bags currently surrounding the offering."

I'm pretty sure there is an initiative by the amateur fishing community to push for precisely this.  But, like most things it takes time.  On my coastal holidays with the kids I always buy bait that is not wrapped in plastic.  The bait shops offer this alternative - more people just need to use it.
