MIAMI – A 26-year-old lady and a 29-year-old man are dealing with felony fees over the disposal of balloons into Biscayne Bay after these have been used to embellish a yacht throughout a wedding proposal.
A witness shared a video on Instagram and environmentalists were outraged. Marine animals usually mistake the nonbiodegradable deflated balloons for jellyfish. Turtles eat it. Seabirds feed it to their younger.
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 more painful studying experience for Martina Gaspoz and David Torres-Bocanegra who were both working.
Officers arrested Gaspoz on Friday and Torres-Bocanegra on Wednesday. They're dealing with fees of willful disregard for the surroundings, a third-degree felony punishable with a high quality of as much as $50,000 or imprisonment for 5 years, or each. Her bond was $5,000.

Officers arrested Torres-Bocanegra for reckless disregard for the atmosphere, a second-degree misdemeanor punishable with a nice of as much as $10,000 or 60 days in jail, or each. His bond was $500. Detective Angel Rodriguez later clarified there was a mistake with the charge.
Detectives didn't take into account the couple who bought engaged on Tuesday to be the culprits. As an alternative, officers issued citations to the two firms — the event planner and the yacht charter — that the longer term groom employed.
Also, not everybody who received a $2,510 citation truly touched the balloons or was current for the celebration.
Dessideria D’Caro De Capriles, of Doral, is the owner of the charter yacht. Gabriela Castillo was the occasion coordinator. Francisco Feo was the individual answerable for the charter company. Officers also cited Tulio Capriles, Iulia Tyshchenko, Viacheslav Diadiura, and Efrain Hernandez.

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 unravel the air pollution drawback. Nevertheless, we consider it’s essential and essential to spark a cultural shift,” the petitioner wrote adding, “We beg the Miami-Dade county to move legislation to protect our ecosystem and enhance environmental consciousness among boaters and the constitution industry.”
