Florida Fish and Wildlife took the lead with the Palm Beach County State Attorney. A staff biologist said the trash was a hazard to wildlife.

Officers used the boat&#8217;s registration and went to the 15-year-old&#8217;s father. \u00abThis is not a representation of who we are,\u00bb the father said. Both teens turned themselves in on May 3, 2024. FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto called it a teaching moment and wanted long community-service hours on the water they had just used as a dumpster. One family issued a public apology. The State Attorney&#8217;s Office later went quiet on the charging file. Boca Bash itself is unsanctioned by the city and still draws an estimated 6,000 to 10,000 boats every last Sunday in April. FWC logged roughly 16 to 20 other arrests that weekend for BUI and drugs.<\/p>\n<p>The same week, Tybee Island was counting 54 arrests at Orange Crush.
