A 16-year-old and 15-year-old boy were both hit with third-degree felony pollution for polluting the waters off Boca Raton, Fla. during a recent boat ride, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced.
“The two juveniles turned themselves in to authorities to face the consequences for violating the laws related to polluting the waters of the state of Florida,” the FWC said in a statement.
The teens face a fine of up to $50,000 and five years in prison.
State wildlife officials condemned the teen’s behavior and called their actions a “serious crime.”
“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. This is a teaching moment for all those involved — Florida’s natural resources are precious, and we should all do our part to protect them,” said FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto in a statement.
Outside of the potential fine and prison time, we hope that these teens are required to do extensive beach clean up community service and are educated on pollution and how it negatively affects the environment.

Boaters were caught on camera over the weekend dumping trash into the ocean off the coast of Boca Raton, Florida, prompting an investigation by Florida state law enforcement as heartbreaking video shot by @wavy_boats shows the group, boating in large swells, dumping two garbage cans full of trash into the ocean while celebrating.
Drone video later captured the debris floating on top of the water.
Please share this video to raise awareness about this horrible eco crime.
We hope every individual on the boat is charged accordingly and their boat license is revoked.

12 examples of the most endangered species in the ocean, continued. 🌊
These are 12 examples of some of the most endangered species in the ocean that are in urgent need of protection.
But they’re not the only species that need protection.
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species– at least 37% of the world’s rays and sharks, 33% of reef corals, 26% of mammals (including marine) and 21% of reptiles are threatened with extinction.
Overfishing, habitat loss and degradation, pollution, as well as climate change, have driven many of these species to the brink of extinction.
