Plastic Pellets in Mallorca: Who Will Stop the White Beads on the Beach?

Answer

Are plastic pellets on Mallorca beaches something beach cleaners can easily miss?

Yes, because the pellets are so small and blend in with sand, seaweed, and shell fragments. They may be overlooked during routine beach cleaning, especially when they are scattered rather than gathered in a visible pile. That is one reason why local reporting and targeted clean-up help so much.
