Abstract
A cable tie flotation device for making a cable tie buoyant having a volume of resilient, easily deformable material having an opening therethrough and a fastening means. The deformable material has a specific gravity less than one and is of sufficient quantity to keep the cable tie afloat in a liquid medium. The fastening means includes an opposed resilient force created by the deformation of the opening the material by a cable tie passing therethrough such that the deformable material is maintained in connective relationship about the cable tie by the opposed force of the resilient deformable material as it attempts to return to its original shape.
