Answer

What is happening to fishing in Mallorca as the sea gets warmer?

Warmer water in the Mediterranean is changing fish populations and making some catches less predictable for fishermen in Mallorca. Smaller catches and shifts in species are already part of the concern, especially for coastal communities that depend on the sea. Local, more sustainable fishing and better monitoring are often seen as part of the response.
