Answer

Why does Playa de Palma sometimes have so much discolored seagrass on the shore?

Discolored seagrass can wash up when marine vegetation is damaged, stressed or detached by changing sea conditions. At Playa de Palma, it is not just an aesthetic issue, because it can also point to broader pressure on the underwater ecosystem.
