An End to the Green Water? Sant Elm Tests Seawater Circulation

Answer

Why is Andratx testing seawater pumps in Sant Elm instead of banning bathing?

The municipality appears to be trying a technical solution first, rather than moving directly to restrictions that would affect beach use. The goal is to improve the look and quality of the water while keeping the bay usable during the season. The real test will be whether the pumps bring measurable improvement without causing new problems.
