Attention fishermen! Please dispose of fish entrails and heads and all leftover bait in deep or fast water where it will not accumulate. Fish waste has been le...ft on Zuckerberg’s Island and it has become a food attractant for bears. Black bears have an extraordinary sense of smell and can detect food over 1 km away. Black bears can also become more assertive and destructive when they learn to associate human activitiessuch as fishingwith food. Remember that Zuckerberg’s Island is a popular destination not only for fishing but tourists and local dog walkers as well. Let’s all make a point of keeping this beautiful little island safe for us to be on by managing our activitiesfishing and picnicsand their potential food attractants. See more
