Plastic Beneath the Surface: Rays in Garbage Fields off Palmanova

Answer

How does plastic end up below the surface near Palmanova?

Debris can come from boats, anchoring, and everyday beach activity, then settle into seabed meadows where it isn’t visible at first. Posidonia fronds catch floating particles, so plastic pieces accumulate under the surface. This pattern shows up around popular Mallorca spots like Palmanova.
