Answer

Why are anchoring practices important for Posidonia in Mallorca’s bays?

Anchoring over seagrass can trap debris and damage Posidonia, which protects coastlines and supports juvenile fish. Using designated moorings reduces the spread of litter and prevents further harm. Clear rules help ensure boats respect Mallorca’s underwater habitats.
