MIAMI – A 26-year-old lady and a 29-year-old man are dealing with legal fees over the disposal of balloons into Biscayne Bay after these were used to embellish a yacht throughout a marriage proposal.
A witness shared a video on Instagram and environmentalists had been outraged. Marine animals usually mistake the nonbiodegradable deflated balloons for jellyfish. Turtles eat it. Seabirds feed it to their young.
Miami-Dade police officers 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 each working.
Officers arrested Gaspoz on Friday and Torres-Bocanegra on Wednesday. They are going through charges of willful disregard for the environment, a third-degree felony punishable with a fine of as much as $50,000 or imprisonment for five years, or each. Her bond was $5,000.

Detectives didn't think about the couple who obtained engaged on Tuesday to be the culprits. As a substitute, officers issued citations to the two corporations — the event planner and the yacht charter — that the future groom employed.
Also, not everyone who received a $2,510 citation really touched the balloons or was current for the celebration.
Dessideria D’Caro De Capriles, of Doral, is the owner of the constitution yacht. Gabriela Castillo was the occasion coordinator. Francisco Feo was the particular person answerable for the constitution firm. Officers also cited Tulio Capriles, Iulia Tyshchenko, Viacheslav Diadiura, and Efrain Hernandez.

Environmental advocates want Miami-Dade officers to do extra.
The Florida Ocean CleanUp Society, a nonprofit group, arrange 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 pollution downside. Nevertheless, we imagine it’s important and essential to spark a cultural shift,” the petitioner wrote including, “We beg the Miami-Dade county to go legislation to protect our ecosystem and enhance environmental consciousness amongst boaters and the charter industry.”
