eh hm

Nesting birds have been using equally "dangerous" materials for nest building even prior to the introduction of man-made materials.

While I understand the plight of the seal or sea-bird who has accidentally choked or strangled by getting their head caught in a 6 pack ring, this bird apparently tied it's own noose and committed suicide. The same would probably have if the bird had used long blades of grass or a long stranded moss like spanish moss (although i am fairly certain you don't have spanish moss in Oregon).

As to the disposal of fishing tackle, not all lengths of fishing line are discarded purposely. Snagging a line underwater or in an otherwise inconvienient place can also result in similar lengths of fishing line to be available for nesting material. A solution to this would be a biodegradable fishing line. (Many plastics already degrade in sunlight, becomming brittle, but this takes time. A plastic which degraded quickly enough to prevent events such as this would be useless.)
