Become A Balloon Alert Ambassador!
No matter where you live you can help marine life. How? By educating others in your community about the dangers of balloons to marine life. We invite you to become a Balloon Alert Ambassador!
When balloons are released into the air, they can travel hundreds of miles before they pop over a waterway such as a lake, creek, stream, river, or ocean. Once in the water, they resemble food such as jellyfish. Sea turtles are especially vulnerable because their favorite food is jellyfish. Balloons floating in the water, resemble jellyfish and they are mistaken for food. It is impossible for turtles to spit out a balloon or plastic bag if they eat it and it plugs up their stomach and leads to death.
Meet Avery, our young Balloon Alert Ambassador. She is making a difference to help marine life. She printed the Save The Whales Balloon Alert flyer, and is going to individual classrooms in her school to tell her classmates about balloons. She is doing this as her community service project and plans to reach out beyond her school, and go to other schools. She will also go to local fairs and events to educate people in her community! Thank you for making a difference!
