Answer

Are mooring buoys a better solution than anchoring in Mallorca’s coves?

Yes, in sensitive areas mooring buoys are a much better option than dropping anchor on the seabed. They reduce damage to Posidonia and give boats a clear place to stop without harming the habitat. In Mallorca, more marked and authorised buoys would also make rules easier to follow.
