More than 6.7 tonnes of waste from the sea: Why the cleanup on Mallorca is only the beginning

Answer

Which parts of Mallorca are most affected by sea debris after storms?

Waste tends to collect in coastal stretches that catch debris after strong wind or rough weather, including areas near Palma as well as places like Port de Pollença and Cala Millor. Seasonal currents and local winds can concentrate rubbish in certain bays, so the same spots are sometimes hit repeatedly. That is why cleanup teams often target known hotspots instead of working randomly along the coast.
