Answer

What does a no-fishing zone around Cabrera mean for Mallorca?

A no-fishing zone around Cabrera would mean that a large marine area south of Mallorca is protected from fishing activity. The aim is to give marine life time to recover, improve biodiversity and support healthier coastal waters over the long term. For many people on Mallorca, the most immediate effect would be better protection of the sea around the island rather than restrictions on everyday local fishing grounds.
