MIAMI – A 26-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man are going through legal prices over the disposal of balloons into Biscayne Bay after these were used to decorate a yacht throughout a marriage proposal.

Miami-Dade law enforcement officials also issued civil citations with greater than $23,000 in fines for the illegal dumping at the Bayshore Landing Marina in Coconut Grove. This has been a extra painful learning expertise for Martina Gaspoz and David Torres-Bocanegra who had been both working.

Environmental advocates want Miami-Dade officers to do more.
The Florida Ocean CleanUp Society, a nonprofit group, set up a Change.org petition asking Miami-Dade’s Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, the chief bay officer, and commissioners to pilot a new ordinance banning balloons and confetti in coastal waters.
“Banning balloons and confetti isn’t going to resolve the pollution downside. Nevertheless, we believe it’s essential and necessary to spark a cultural shift,” the petitioner wrote adding, “We beg the Miami-Dade county to go legislation to protect our ecosystem and enhance environmental consciousness among boaters and the constitution business.”
