Too Many Boats, Too Little Sea: Why Mallorca's Coasts Are Reaching Their Limits

Answer

How do buoy fields work in Mallorca?

Buoy fields are set up in protected or busy areas so boats can moor without damaging the seabed. They are usually managed by different authorities depending on the location, such as Ports IB, yacht clubs or the central administration in protected zones. Because they are seasonal and limited, they can be fully booked during busy periods.
