Officials said the teens will face consequences if they violate laws related to pollution of Florida state waters.

The video shows the breathtaking moment as people on a boat start throwing buckets full of rubbish into the sea.

We then see some of the boys on board cheering. People on social media are calling the perpetrators “scumbags,” another saying, “I want to see the second part of the story where they go to jail and pay the fines.” Another said, “Throw them in jail for 20 years Jail.”

“Illegal dumping of trash in our marine environment is a serious crime, and we have worked closely with the Palm Beach County District Attorney’s Office to determine appropriate charges. Callous disregard for Florida's environment will not be tolerated. “This is a teachable moment for everyone involved – Florida’s natural resources are precious, and we should all do our part to protect them,” said FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto.

“The negative impact this type of intentional pollution has on our beaches, reef systems and estuaries cannot be underestimated,” said Maj. Dustin Bonds, South Alpha regional commander. “This type of criminal activity harms our wildlife and undermines the investments Florida people have made in keeping our unique ecosystem healthy.” The public can report suspected fishing, wildlife or boating violations by contacting FWC through the Wildlife Alert

“Oh my God, this is crazy. That’s not right,” said Isabelle Dupy. She couldn't believe what she saw.

“Everyone recycles, everyone tries to have a better planet, a cleaner planet and look what happens. It’s terrible,” she said.

Pamela Villafuerte and Natheer Gregory were shocked.

“They don’t really respect. They just threw it in without a care in the world,” Villafuerte said.

“They should be fined. There should be, I'm not trying to put anyone in prison, but at least a few months in prison or something like that,” Gregory added.

Claire Paris is a professor of marine sciences at the Rosenstiel School at UM. As she watched the video of the landfill, she thought of sea creatures feeding near the surface.

“From what I saw on the video, they are a few small pieces that could be mistaken for food, especially when there are a lot of waves and the fish doesn't really see what's on the surface, just reaches for things. ” she remarked.
