Answer

Will drones make coastal monitoring in Mallorca more effective?

Drones can be useful for checking cliffs, tracking pollution traces and monitoring areas that are difficult to reach by boat. But they are only one part of the system, because weather, battery limits and legal rules can restrict their use. In Mallorca, they work best as support for manned patrols rather than as a replacement.
