1 Village of Biscayne Park Commission Agenda Report Village Commission Meeting Date: October 6, 2016 Subject: Discussion on prohibition of balloon usage and balloon releases Prepared By: Commissioner Barbara Watts Sponsored By: Commission Background The release of helium balloons and so called Chinese lanterns have been shown to endanger marine life, particularly sea turtles, as they resemble them when they deflate and are grounded. So too, as evidence from California attests, these air-borne confections endanger power lines and cause electrical outages. A number of South Florida municipalities have passed resolutions or ordinances banning helium balloons and the like from public and even private spaces and Miami-Dade County is considering participation but have not yet made a final commitment. Such legislation largely has been due to awareness campaigns launched by environmental groups in Florida, California, and abroad (see backup websites). I suggest that the Commission discuss the matter and consider passing a resolution banning the release of helium balloons (there are alternatives), limiting (or providing guidelines for) their outdoor display, and/or publicize the dangers that accompany their release so that residents refrain from releasing them and/or and take special care to secure them when displaying them outdoors (please excuse run-on sentence). Fiscal / Budget Impact Staff time. Page 1 of 2
2 October 6, 2016 Commission Agenda Report Recommendation: Pass a resolution limiting or banning the outdoor display of helium balloons and the like, and include information regarding their potential environmental hazards in a flyer, on the Rec. Center s Facebook page and rules for Rec. Center rental, and in the Newsletter. Attachments General Balloon Ban information Balloon Ban Participation Options Dania Beach Ordinance Lantana Ordinance Links: lanterns+&+balloons This California website has links that contain valuable information regarding the risks to sea life and to electrical lines posed by helium balloons, See "B2709 Factsheet" and "History of,,," Page 2 of 2

4 Table of Contents Sample Ordinance 3 Flyer 5 Signage Options 6 Sample Webpage 8 Florida s East Coast is home to some of the most densely utilized sea turtle nesting beaches in the country. At Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC), a non-profit organization located in Juno Beach, Florida, hospital staff regularly treat turtles with complications due to marine debris ingestion. Balloons are often released, purposefully or by accident, and end up littering the ocean. The deflated balloons resemble jellies, a common prey item for sea turtle species. In an effort to promote the safety and protection of marine life, LMC staff wish to form a partnership to prohibit the use of balloons in designated locations along the coast. LMC Contacts Tommy Cutt, Chief Conservation Officer tcutt@marinelife.org Demi Fox, Outreach Coordinator dfox@marinelife.org

7 Town Logo Balloon Ban Deflated balloons resemble jelly fish, a common prey item for sea turtles. In an effort to promote the safety and protection of sea turtles, (Town Name) has prohibited the use of balloons in (location(s)). Former LMC patient, Lil Nugget, swallowed a balloon. Hundreds of balloons are collected on Florida beaches. You can also help protect sea turtles in the following ways: Remove any lounge chairs, umbrellas, and other beach furniture from the beach overnight. Knock down sand castles and fill in holes in the sand when leaving the beach. Turn off outdoor lights at night and close curtains after sunset to keep light pollution off the beach. Dispose of all trash and clean up any debris found on the beach. If you see a nesting turtle, try not to disrupt her. Do not use any bright lights or flash photography and avoid creating loud noises. If you see healthy hatchlings, allow them to crawl to the ocean on their own.
