Decline off Cabrera: Who owns the sea — and who pays the price?

Answer

How does marine decline off Cabrera affect Mallorca’s tourism and economy?

A healthier sea supports fishing, boating and the kind of coastal landscape many visitors come for. If biodiversity keeps falling, Mallorca could face weaker fish stocks, less resilient ecosystems and a sea that is less attractive and less productive over time. The impact is not immediate everywhere, but it can become an economic issue as well as an environmental one.
