City of Neptune Beach Balloon Ordinance

The release into the atmosphere of large numbers of balloons inflated with lighter-than-air gases poses a danger and nuisance to the environment, particularly to wildlife and marine animals.

Surfrider First Coast Chapter is asking for the ban of all intentional balloon releases because this is the same as littering, and there are other alternatives to releasing balloons. Such as planting trees, blowing bubbles and even hosting beach cleanups in memorium of a loved one.
