Answer

Why is Mallorca missing an inventory of coastal structures?

According to the draft, Mallorca does not yet have a comparable inventory of protected coastal structures, unlike some other Balearic islands. Without reliable data, it becomes harder to decide fairly which sites should be preserved and how they should be managed. That can lead to disputes between owners, municipalities and the island authorities.
