Answer

Why are microplastics and debris a concern in Mallorca harbors?

Microplastics can accumulate in harbors, hiding under seaweed and sediments and posing risks to boats and wildlife. During the event, volunteers used nets to collect microplastics and removed cigarette butts and plastic sheets. Cleaning efforts like these help keep Mallorca's harbors safer and cleaner.
