Record Heat at 500 Meters Depth: Mallorca Faces an Invisible Danger

Answer

How are scientists monitoring sea temperature around Mallorca?

Scientists in Mallorca use measurement networks, buoys and long-term observation systems to track sea temperature changes. Better monitoring is important because deep-water warming can be easy to miss from the shore, even though it affects the ecosystem over time. Reliable data also helps authorities respond earlier to marine heatwaves and other coastal risks.
