The disclosure provides embodiments of a fishing line that includes renewable natural fibers, and a renewable natural coating. Some of the embodiments of the disclosed fishing line include, for example, a single strand line, or a braided or plaited line made from multiple threads, strands or yarns. Other embodiments of the disclosed fishing line are degradable over a predetermined timeline. These embodiments are preferred because of the low environmental impact of the disclosed fishing lines.

Renewable natural fiber fishing line

The disclosure provides embodiments of environmentally acceptable fishing lines or fishing nets. Embodiments of the disclosed fishing line or net may comprise a degradable polymer having components derived from i) biomass sources, ii) protein, fatty acid or lipid sources, iii) microbial-based monomers and polymers, iv) agro-based monomers and polymers, v) sugar or starch based monomers and polymers, or combinations thereof, as well as fishing lines and nets that further comprise an additive having components derived from i) polyol sources, ii) citrate sources, iii) fatty acid sources, iv) biomass oil sources, or combinations thereof. Some of the embodiments of the disclosed fishing lines or nets may have a suitable fiber core, while other embodiments of the disclosed fishing lines or nets are degradable over a predetermined period of time. The disclosed embodiments are preferred because of the low environmental impact of the disclosed fishing lines or nets.

Degradable fishing lines and nets

A gas monitoring system for continuously detecting leakage of at least one gas and being operable in an extreme climate condition, the system involving a processor; at least one emergency shutdown valve responsive to a set of instructions from the processor; and a user interface in communication with the processor. The system further involves a weather-proof enclosure for housing system components. The weather-proof enclosure is adapted to operate at a temperature range of ambient temperature to a below-freezing temperature, wherein the at least one emergency shutdown valve comprises at least one latch valve.
