A floatation attachment system may include a floatation attachment device configured to be attached to an object. The floatation attachment device may include a floatation material configured to provide buoyancy to the object it attaches and an attachment surface configured to directly attach the object. The floatation material may include a material that expands or generates gas upon contact with water. The system may include a dispenser such as a sheet of pre-cut floatation attachment devices or for manual cutting for customized shapes and sizes. In one instance, the system includes a tape roll dispenser for dispensing floatation attachment devices from a roll.
