Teens charged with felonies for dumping barrels full of trash into ocean after viral video

sailboat ocean print

Two teens turned themselves in and were charged with felonies after a video went viral of people dumping of two barrels of trash from a boat into the ocean during the April 28, Boca Bash event, reports say.

The boys, who are 15 and 16 years old, are from Palm Beach County, which is an hour and a half drive from Miami, reports the Miami Herald .

The paper adds that the teenagers were arrested on third degree felony charges for causing pollution “so as to harm or injure human health or welfare, animal, plant or aquatic life or property."

The incident garnered national attention and outrage after a video of the suspects emptying trash barrels off the back of a boat and into the Atlantic Ocean was posted to social media.

The video was originally posted by @Wavy_Boats on Instagram. The footage was captured with a drone off the coast of South Florida and showed the teens emptying the trash bins over the railing of the boat.

What happened?

FWC officers launched an investigation April 29, after receiving complaints in response to a video posted on social media that showed several juveniles on a boat traveling out of the Boca Inlet. The boat was heading away from the Boca Bash , an unsanctioned gathering of boaters, Jet-Skiers and kayakers that takes place on the final Sunday of each April on Lake Boca and attracts thousands of people.

The trash-dumping incident, captured by a drone, showed eight to 10 people in a three-engine fishing vessel named Halcyon leaving the Boca Raton Inlet in heaving waves. Two young men were then seen dumping two large buckets of garbage over the side of the boat, leaving a trail of multicolored cans, cups and bottles in their wake.

News outlets nationwide broadcast the video. The outrage that followed turned the incident into "a worldwide story," FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto said. He told the FWC board, at a Wednesday meeting in Daytona Beach, that the world "is watching us."

"We don’t even have words for this." - @CleanMiamiBeach

Sophia Ringel, the founder of Clean Miami Beach, a Miami-based nonprofit organization that is dedicated to protecting Miami Beach and its marine wildlife, told USA TODAY the video is "heartbreaking."

Ringel said that she and her team were "very very shocked to see that some individuals just seem to not care at all and throw trash in the ocean."

She adds that the video was difficult to watch, especially because her organization works so hard to clean the beach and educate the public about the ocean and marine life.

Boca Bash trash dumping incident drew national attention

The Boca Bash Facebook page addressed the incident in an  April 30 post , saying the boating community would work together to identify the boat and its occupants so they could be reported to FWC investigators.

FWC said its investigators were able to confirm the identities of the two teens and worked with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office to determine what charges they will face. Under Florida's  litter law , someone dumping litter that weighs 15 pounds or less can be fined $150, but it is not a criminal offense. If the litter exceeds 15 pounds but is under 500 pounds, it is a first-degree misdemeanor.

In a statement announcing the pending charges, Barreto described it as a "teaching moment for all those involved."

“The illegal dumping of trash in our marine environment is a serious crime, and we worked closely with the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office to determine appropriate charges. Callous disregard for Florida’s environment will not be tolerated," he said.

The city made him hide his boat — so he had it painted on his fence

“I’ll do what they want, but I’m not going to do it their way.”

sailboat ocean print

When the city of Seaside, Calif., ordered resident Etienne Constable to build a fence to cover the boat parked in his driveway, he complied. But the puckish way he did it — hiring his artist neighbor to paint a realistic mural of the same exact boat on his fence — has brought him viral attention.

“We kind of hit the sweet spot between following the rules and making an elegant statement to the contrary,” says Constable.

Constable, who works in business development, has lived in the same house in Seaside for 29 years. For most of that time, his boat trailer — often with a boat attached — has sat in his driveway without issue. But in July 2023, he received a letter from the city, asserting that the municipal code requires that boats and trailers be “screened on the side and front by a six-foot-high fence,” and threatening him with a citation and a $100 fine if he failed to comply. (The Washington Post has reviewed the letter.)

To Constable, the letter came out of nowhere. The ordinance itself is not new. He hadn’t heard any complaints from neighbors, and he’s kept the boat, which he named Might as Well and uses to fish “as often as I can,” for four years in his driveway.

“I thought, ‘This is ridiculous,’ and my first reaction was to leave a nasty, nasty message at the city hall,” he says. “And then I thought, well, I might as well build a screen … I’ll do what they want, but I’m not going to do it their way.”

So he started brainstorming. That’s when he had a chat with his neighbor, Hanif Panni, a muralist and graphic artist, about potentially painting the fence to look exactly like the space it was built to cover up. The two batted ideas back and forth over the fence that separated their yards. “We wanted to make an illusion,” says Panni.

Panni, whose artist name is Hanif Wondir , was in. He had other projects on his docket, and wasn’t able to start painting the boat on the fence until early May. It took four days to complete. As he worked, people driving or walking by would stop to comment on the optical illusion, and a few neighbors told him that they, too, had received letters about the ordinance, says Panni.

The actual fence cost a few hundred bucks, per Constable, who did the labor himself. He paid Panni for painting the mural, too.

With Constable’s permission, Panni shared the finished work on social media. It quickly went viral.

“The more people see something, the more opinions there are about it … and it’s just so fun to see those branches stemming off of something that I created,” says Panni. “ … One of the reasons why I do public art, and art in general, is to inspire those conversations.”

The mural ultimately led to an approving phone call to Constable from Nick Borges, Seaside’s acting city manager, on Friday evening. Borges first saw the images of the painted fence when a friend sent them to him — neither of them knew the photos were taken in Seaside. “I thought, ‘wow, that’s pretty creative.’ I laughed at it, and then I started getting calls from local media,” says Borges.

After years of complaints that the city was too lax about code enforcement, Borges says Seaside hired someone to enforce its codes, hence the letters sent to residents. Constable’s case was closed out in November, when the fence (at that point, without the mural) was spotted, says Borges.

“We’re not taking any action,” he says. “The only action I’m going to take is a high five, and that’s it.”

This story has been updated with comment from Seaside’s acting city manager Nick Borges.

Man gets realistic picture of his boat painted on a fence intended to hide it

A California man who was ordered to keep his boat out of sight has had the last laugh by commissioning an artist to paint a realistic image of it on the fence that obscures it.

Local government officials told Etienne Constable, of Seaside, California, in July that he had to build a 6-foot fence to hide the boat from view of his neighbors.

In a light-hearted jibe at officialdom, Constable decided to follow the directive, which said nothing about how the fence should be decorated, and asked local artist Hanif Panni to create a mural that makes it look as if the fence isn't there.

"I’m not a rule-breaker, but I like to make a political statement as necessary, as well as a humorous statement and a creative statement," he told NBC affiliate KSBW of Monterey Bay .

Man paints boat on fence erected to conceal boat

He is yet to have had any contact from the city about the mural — but he said he considers it to be covered by the right to freedom of expression as enshrined in the First Amendment.

"The reaction is extremely more than we ever expected, and we’re both just tickled about it," Constable said, referring to the stir the image has made on social media, where it has been shared many times.

Panni, who paints images across the Central Coast area, told KSBW: "I’m a big proponent of public art in spaces. It engages people in ways that reaching out and having conversations doesn’t sometimes."

And Panni added that since the Seaside boat mural has gone viral, other boat owners have approached him to see whether he can do the same for them.

Boat that fatally struck a 15-year-old girl in Florida has been found, officials say

  • Copy Link copied

MIAMI (AP) — Investigators believe they’ve found the boat that fatally struck a 15-year-old girl off a South Florida beach, officials said Tuesday.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation and other law enforcement agencies had been searching for the vessel since Saturday, when Ella Adler was killed and the boat operator fled without stopping.

“The boat is in our custody, and the owner is cooperating,” FWC officer George Reynaud said in a video on Facebook.

Officials didn’t immediately say where the boat was found or how it was located. It also wasn’t clear whether the owner of the boat was the person who was operating it when the girl was hit.

Adler was water-skiing near Key Biscayne, just south of Miami, on Saturday afternoon when she fell into the water and was hit by another boat, which immediately sped away, officials said. Witnesses described the hit-and-run craft as a center console boat with a light blue hull, multiple white outboard engines and blue bottom paint.

A funeral service for Adler was held Monday morning at Temple Beth Sholom in Miami Beach. Adler was a freshman at Ransom Everglades School in Coconut Grove and a ballerina with the Miami City Ballet.

A total reward of up to $20,000 was being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

One Ocean Isle Beach group wants to make changes to town’s lighting ordinance to protect sea turtles

OCEAN ISLE BEACH, N.C. (WECT) - The Ocean Isle Beach Sea Turtle Protection Organization wants to make changes to the town’s lighting ordinance to protect sea turtles.

Deb Allen with the organization says sea turtles mistake streetlights or house lights for the moon.

That’s when they go away from the shore and can die from being stepped on, run over by cars or taken by predators.

Allen says as many as 135 hatchlings have died in one summer because of the dangers that bright lights bring.

It’s why her group wants to change the town’s lighting ordinance.

“If this doesn’t happen, we’re going to have a lot more baby sea turtles die,” Allen said.

Some of the changes include replacing the town’s streetlights with amber lights that are sea-turtle-friendly and installing new lights on all oceanfront homes and businesses.

Only new builds from 2021 on are required to install sea-turtle-friendly lights.

Allen says the outlook doesn’t look promising following Tuesday’s commissioner meeting.

“Their decision was for us to continue with our educating of the public, which is a very, very slow process, which will lead to more loss of an endangered species. It’s very disappointing for us and very frustrating for us,” Allen said.

Allen tells me the group has already been educating the public for 5 years so she’s not sure what else it’s going to take for a change.

Allen says Bald Head Island and Holden Beach currently have lighting ordinances for turtles and she wants Ocean Isle Beach to follow.

Killer whales attack and sink sailing yacht in the Strait of Gibraltar — again

By Emily Mae Czachor

Updated on: May 14, 2024 / 4:54 PM EDT / CBS News

A sailing yacht sunk in the Strait of Gibraltar on Sunday after an unknown number of orcas  slammed into the vessel with two people on board and caused a water leak, officials said. Both crew members were rescued by a passing oil tanker, said Spain's maritime rescue service, marking the latest killer whale attack on a boat in what has become a pattern in recent years.

The incident happened at around 9 a.m. local time in the narrow strait between Spain and Morocco that has become a notorious site of human interactions with pods of killer whales that, for reasons still not fully understood, ram into boats and at times even sink them . In this case, crew members on board the SV Alboran Cognac yacht put out an emergency call for an evacuation after they encountered orcas roughly 14 miles off the coast of Cape Spartel. 

The crew members reported feeling blows to the hull of the vessel and rudder, which was damaged by the whales, the rescue service said. The agency's coordination center in Tarifa, on the Spanish side of the Strait of Gibraltar, helped arrange for their evacuation via the tanker MT Lascaux. The tanker was able to collect the crew members from the sinking yacht within the hour, and they disembarked in Gibraltar before 10:30 a.m. They abandoned the SV Alboran Cognac, which proceeded to completely disappear into the ocean.

Anyone sailing through waters from the Gulf of Cádiz in southern Spain and the Strait of Gibraltar, either in a larger motorized vessel or a personal sailing boat, is advised to avoid certain areas that the maritime rescue service marks as potentially dangerous spots for orca interactions. The greatest threats exist between May and August, when officials say that pods of killer whales are most commonly seen in those parts of the Atlantic. 

orca-interactions-maritime-rescue.jpg

But previously recorded incidents suggest those dangers may be present at any time. Last October, a Polish boat touring company reported that a pod of orcas had managed to sink one of its yachts after repeatedly slamming into the steering fin for 45 minutes, causing it to leak. Last June, two sailing teams competing in an international race around the world reported frightening scenarios in which multiple orcas rammed into or pushed up against their boats or as they sailed west of Gibraltar. 

No one on board any of the vessels was hurt in those encounters, but the documented rise in confrontational behavior has researchers and sailors trying to determine why orcase have attempted to sink or capsize so many boats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal. 

Some sailors have even resorted to blasting thrash metal music in a bid to deter the apex predators.

Reports of orcas interacting with humans have more than tripled in the last two years or so, according to the research group GTOA, which has documented hundreds of such incidents in the region since 2020. But some of the latest data points to possible changes in the orcas' etiquette, with the group reporting only 26 interactions in the Strait of Gibraltar and Bay of Biscay areas between January and May of this year. That number is 65% lower than the number of interactions recorded in the region over the same months last year, and 40% lower than the average number of interactions recorded in the same months between 2021 and 2023, according to GTOA.

‘Scooby’ the sea turtle is on the mend, ready to be released back into the ocean

Louis Aguirre , Anchor/Reporter/Environmental Advocate

MARATHON, Fla. – A beloved sea turtle named “Scooby” is finally on the mend, after marine scientists at The Turtle Hospital in Marathon help save her.

The juvenile sea turtle was rescued after she was found stranded on Indian Harbor Beach near Melbourne in March. The local sea turtle rehabilitation centers were at capacity, so Scooby was transferred by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to The Turtle Hospital in the Florida Keys .

The turtle hospital is the first licensed veterinary hospital for sea turtles in the world.

Scooby was emaciated with critically low blood levels. Her entire body was encrusted in barnacles and over the next several weeks, doctors at the hospital painstakingly and carefully removed those barnacles one by one.

As they removed the barnacles, Scooby got stronger and stronger. She responded well to other treatments included broad spectrum antibiotics, fluids, vitamins, and a healthy diet of mixed seafood.

She also began swimming stronger in The Turtle Hospital’s seawater pools.

Scooby has also become quite the viral star. As of Monday, one of the TikTok videos of her recovery has amassed more than 30 million views and a second one of her videos got 20 million views.

The barnacles were not too pretty to look at. But it is very common for sea turtles to host them.

Scooby was fitted with a satellite transmitter tag on Tuesday and be released back out into the ocean on Wednesday afternoon in Melbourne, not far from where she was rescued.
