Answer

What are the biggest problems with anchoring in Mallorca’s coves?

The main issues are crowding, noise and damage to Posidonia seagrass, which is especially sensitive in Mallorca’s coves. Even quieter boats do not solve the problem if anchoring rules are unclear or poorly enforced. Better protection zones and more consistent controls are needed to keep coves usable and environmentally healthy.
