Alarm at the Blue: Why Large Predators in the Balearic Sea Leave Almost No Traces

Answer

What does the Émile-Baudot ridge tell us about migratory routes near Mallorca?

This raises questions about where these animals pass and how corridors work around Mallorca. It also supports calls for protected zones and better monitoring across habitats.
