Every kid on that boat needs 500 hours of community service, at least. The ones doing the actual dumping? 1k hours. All beach and water cleaning and trash pickup. Maybe boating license (or any operators license) taken away, and it looks like they have enough money to pay some fines that go to Ocean study, research, and conservation.
