Rescue group pleads for help as they rescue hundreds of pelicans from Skyway pier
Cynthia Smoot reports
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - At nearly two miles long, the south end of the old Sunshine Skyway Bridge is now the longest fishing pier in the world.
Since 1994, it has been open to fishing, seven days a week and 24 hours a day, and it might just be the deadliest for pelicans and other seabirds.
For years, volunteers with the rescue group Friends of the Pelicans have been rescuing birds trapped in fishing lines there. They knew it was bad, but didn t know how bad until they hired their own rescuer to be there five days a week.

Good Samaritan performs zip-line rescue of entangled pelican on Skyway
Cynthia Smoot reports
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - How far would you go to help an injured bird? When volunteers from Friends of the Pelicans spotted a young pelican entangled in fishing line on a span of the old Skyway Sunshine Bridge, they knew he would die if they didn t do something.
That span was part of the demolition, so there s no way to get there except by boat, which can be dangerous. After a flurry of phone calls and social media posts, Mike Bitler of St. Petersburg came to the rescue.
