Answer

What environmental precautions are needed when salvaging a yacht on Mallorca’s coast?

A salvage operation like this should include pumping out remaining fuel, cleaning the tanks and using an oil boom to limit any spill risk. Independent monitoring is important so the work is properly checked while it is carried out. That matters especially on Mallorca, where a small mistake can affect the beach and nearby marine life.
