Ten Thousand Spring Breakers descended on Boca Raton for the” Boca Bash”, eating, tearing, and creating public havoc while some partiers were caught dumping garbage into the sea, infuriating visitors.
On Sunday, revelers boarded ships and danced the day and night ahead. People could be seen pouring bottles of alcohol over and dumping garbage cans into the ocean.
Rodrigo Samsing, a local kayaker, said,” It only really infuriates you to see someone trash the sea like that,” according to WSVN. ” You know, nobody else on the ship tried to stop them. Everyone was really celebrating”.
” I mean, they could have simply grabbed a case, filled it up, and thrown the garbage out because they already had it in the garbage you.” Rather, they simply dump it carelessly into the sea. It’s just really terrible to see”, he remarked.

Apart from being nasty, dumping trash into the sea or waters is also illegal.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection cited national law in a report from the Daily Mail that states that boats are unable to dispose of any wastes “from a ship” while in lakes, rivers, bays, sound, and onshore within three yards of the sea.
” Representatives for Boca Bash say they’ve ID’d the group boys and called their behavior’ fully undesirable,’ while local authorities and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are investigating”, the media outlet added.
The organization continued with the statement that “it is irresponsible boaters like this who have no regard for our oceans that give this event a bad reputation.”
Wow, some people will never understand how to respect our stunning oceans. So disappointing.

The parties to the trash dump have not yet been charged.
The event saw boats, jet skis, kayaks, and paddle boards on Lake Boca Raton early Sunday. Even one man was seen taking off with a water jetpack while using his phone. As the partiers took control of the lake, police and firefighters were present.
Two people were arrested on Monday night and are being detained, according to Boca News Now, and are facing charges of” Boating Under The Influence.”
According to the Daily Mail,” Locals avoid Boca Bash because it’s a sh** show on water and gets crazier every year.”
According to Boca Raton spokesman Mark Economou, the event has no official organizer, according to the Palm Beach Post. This is” just something that occurs on April’s final Sunday.”
Those who dumped trash into the ocean were thrashed on X as people debated appropriate consequences for their actions:
They should be arrested, found guilty, and required to do major community trash cleanups – min. 1000 hours.

Oh man, do I HATE that! !
I live in the country, and I ca n’t tell you how many times we’ve seen places where people just dump bags of trash on the side of the road.
Our oceans are too polluted as it is without this garbage, which makes this even worse!

These people are pathetic

It’s perfectly reasonable to have them all remove trash from the beaches for the entire summer.

30 days of community service for cleaning up the ocean, a fine of$ 1500, and a light misdemeanor charge that is waived upon completion of community service and payment of the fine.

Everyone aboard the boat should be in jail for this, too.

They all are fined and required to perform community cleaning for about a month to promote sanitation. That will be a perfect punishment

When JAWS arrived to squirm the entire boat, exactly?
