MIAMI – A 26-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man are going through felony prices over the disposal of balloons into Biscayne Bay after these have been used to embellish a yacht during a marriage proposal.
A witness shared a video on Instagram and environmentalists have been outraged. Marine animals typically 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 Touchdown Marina in Coconut Grove. This has been a extra painful learning expertise for Martina Gaspoz and David Torres-Bocanegra who have been both working.
Officers arrested Gaspoz on Friday and Torres-Bocanegra on Wednesday. They are facing costs of willful disregard for the setting, a third-degree felony punishable with a positive of up to $50,000 or imprisonment for 5 years, or each. Her bond was $5,000.

Officers arrested Torres-Bocanegra for reckless disregard for the surroundings, a second-degree misdemeanor punishable with a high quality 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 did not contemplate the couple who bought engaged on Tuesday to be the culprits. Instead, officers issued citations to the two corporations — the occasion planner and the yacht constitution — that the longer term groom hired.
Also, not everybody who obtained a $2,510 quotation truly touched the balloons or was present for the celebration.
Dessideria D’Caro De Capriles, of Doral, is the owner of the charter yacht. Gabriela Castillo was the event coordinator. Francisco Feo was the person accountable for the constitution firm. Officers also cited Tulio Capriles, Iulia Tyshchenko, Viacheslav Diadiura, and Efrain Hernandez.

Environmental advocates want Miami-Dade officials to do extra.
The Florida Ocean CleanUp Society, a nonprofit organization, 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 resolve the air pollution downside. Nonetheless, we consider it’s important and necessary to spark a cultural shift,” the petitioner wrote adding, “We beg the Miami-Dade county to go laws to guard our ecosystem and increase environmental awareness among boaters and the charter industry.”
