It isn't littering or dumping if you are placing individual objects that you WANT someone to find. sort of along the lines of letterboxing and geo-caching...you hide objects (boxes in these cases) that you WANT someone to find.

That, my friend, is truly a labor of love....and the craft involved in creating those artistic treasures.

I am a legend in my own mind!

Red,
The "Power's that be" (Block Island Chamber of Commerce, Town Council, etc) are huge backers of this project as it promotes tourism and
acts as a catalyst to get people out into open spaces by staying active. That said, I've never found one and have spent more than a few hours looking - seems I tend to focus more on finding bass and get tunnel vision. I can see a washed up plug in the wrack line at 30 paces on a new moon but can't see a glass ball in the noontime sunlight for the life of me.

Ahh. Before I hid the very first one, I went to the town and asked for permission.

Despite the rumors, it's always better to ask for permission than ask for forgivnance.
