Answer

What concrete steps should Mallorca authorities take to improve transparency and safety around Sa Riera discharges?

Publish regular measurement data on salt content, oxygen, nitrate/phosphate, conductivity, and temperature before and after discharges. Set up an early warning system with signs at Jaume III and stream entrances to inform residents and visitors. Consider retention basins, dilution buffers, and eventually retrofitting the treatment plant to reduce saline discharges. Invite independent monitoring by environmental groups or universities, and encourage citizen-science projects to document sightings and samples.
