Answer

Are Mallorca’s port upgrades likely to improve the environment?

They could, but only if the measures are used properly and monitored closely. Shore power, cleaner wastewater systems and coastal protection can all help reduce pressure on the harbour and nearby waters. Environmental groups and local users also point to underwater noise and sediment changes, which are often overlooked in official assessments.
