Help Us Stop Balloon Releases in Worcester County, Maryland

The Ocean City Chapter wants to ban the intentional release of balloons in Worcester County, Maryland! Most people don't think about what happens to a balloon after it is released, but what goes up must come down. Often balloons end up in our oceans, where they can choke marine life like turtles and whales who mistake them for food, or animals can get tangled in the ribbon.

We aren't talking about a child accidentally releasing a balloon. We want to ban the act of releasing a bunch of balloons on purpose, which often happens at special events. The Ocean City Chapter has an active action alert and will be working on other activities under this campaign. If you live in Worcester County, take action here. 

Let's stop this senseless littering in our oceans and keep balloons tied down!
