Answer

How can Mallorca improve coastal surveillance against smuggling?

Experts point to a mix of better night patrols, drones, coastal sensors and faster information sharing between police and port authorities. Local forensic capacity also matters, because quick testing can preserve evidence before it disappears. In the longer term, stronger cooperation across the Balearic Islands and with mainland authorities would help close gaps.
