Graduation balloons may only last a few hours at the celebration, but many last years in the environment.

What goes up doesn’t just disappear. At R/V Pilar, we created the first public balloon reporting database where anyone in the world can report balloon sightings. Every report helps us better understand where balloons travel, where they end up, and how widespread this issue really is.

This data helps us educate the public, support environmental policy efforts, and bring real-world evidence directly to local leaders and politicians.

But the biggest difference starts with all of us.
Before buying or releasing balloons, consider where they may ultimately end up.

If you spot a balloon outdoors, floating, tangled, washed up, or somewhere it doesn’t belong, report it at R/V Pilar
Every balloon lands somewhere.

Help Us Track Balloon Pollution! 🎈
 We’re collecting data on mylar & latex balloons found in nature.

These balloons can seriously harm birds, turtles, and other marine life.

If you see a balloon, scan the QR code to report it. www.RVPilar.org

Your report helps us push for a citywide ban on helium-filled balloons.

Mylar balloons don’t just float away.
They drift into our oceans, get tangled up in marine life, and take years to break down into microplastics.

Spot a balloon?🎈
Report it on our site, link in our bio!

Choose gifts that honor mom, not litter our coastlines.

Love doesn’t need helium to be meaningful. Celebrate mom with something more thoughtful than a balloon ever could be ❤️

This marlin is now part of the IGFA Great Marlin Race, a global collaboration between anglers, scientists, and conservation partners like AFTCO working to better understand billfish in the open ocean.

Each fish is fitted with a Pop-up Satellite Archival Tag (PSAT), designed to record critical data throughout its journey, tracking movement, depth, temperature, and behavior across entire ocean basins. After deployment, the tag stays attached for up to ~240 days before releasing, floating to the surface, and transmitting its data via satellite.

Every tagged fish becomes part of a global dataset that has already:
• Logged hundreds of thousands of nautical miles of migration
• Tracked fish across entire oceans, some traveling 5,000+ nm in a single deployment
• Helped scientists understand how billfish interact with changing ocean conditions
• Contributed to real conservation policy and fisheries management decisions

What makes this different is the format, this is a tournament within a tournament.
Each tag entered competes in the “race,” with the winner being the fish that travels the farthest distance from where it was released.

But the real win is bigger than that.

This is citizen science at scale, powered by the fishing community. Every tag deployed adds to an open-access database used by researchers worldwide to better understand migration routes, population connectivity, and the future of these species.

Tagged. Released. And now telling a story we could never see before.

SAT tag deployed. Data incoming.
