Ban on lead sinkers aims to protect loons
Ottawa -- The federal government plans to ban lead fishing tackle, in a bid to improve habitat and prevent the deaths of waterfowl and other animals.
Environment Minister David Anderson said yesterday that he will soon propose regulations to prohibit importing, manufacturing or selling lead fishing sinkers and jigs.
Lead fishing gear accounts for about 18 per cent of all direct lead releases into the environment, the government says.
Ottawa says up to 30 per cent of reported loon deaths during the breeding season in Eastern Canada are caused by lead poisoning.
