Almost 37 Tons of Waste: What Mallorca's Cleanup Fleet Really Tells Us

Answer

Why are small harbors in Mallorca part of the waste problem?

Some small harbors in Mallorca do not have enough separate containers or proper drop-off points for fishing gear. When damaged nets or larger waste items have nowhere suitable to go, they are more likely to be stored badly or lost. Over time, that increases the chance of debris ending up in the water.
