Florida locals infuriated as spring breakers caught dumping overfilled garbage cans into the ocean

A group of inebriated spring breakers caused controversy by ruthlessly tossing mountains of trash into the ocean during Florida’s yearly Boca Bash.

The disturbing act, which was caught on camera and is making the rounds on the internet, featured the partygoers—possibly some of the 10,000 people who attended over the weekend—unceremoniously emptying their vessel’s overflowing trash cans.

Rodrigo Samsing, a local, told WSVN that he was disgusted and that it really enraged him to see someone trash the ocean in that way. It’s true that no one else on the boat attempted to stop them. Everyone was merely having fun.

They could have simply placed a bag in the garbage can, filled it, and thrown it away since they already had the trash there. Rather, they simply throw it recklessly into the sea. It’s just very depressing to observe,” Samsing sighed.

Representatives from Boca Bash denounced the conduct, naming the spring breakers and calling their behavior “completely unacceptable.” An investigation into the littering incident has been started by local authorities, including the police and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

“It is irresponsible boaters like this that have zero care for our oceans that give this event a bad reputation,” the event organizers added.

The partygoers’ identities are kept a secret, as are any possible charges.
