"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.
