Fred -well, they are party balloons. You know when kids have parties and they release the balloons, safely over land but they end up over the sea, over the water a lot of the times. The problem with them is that the sea turtles often confuse them for jelly fish which is their favorite food and as they eat these balloons they get impacted in their intestines and it kills them.
