Dead Shark at the Paseo: A Wake-up Call for Better Coastal Protection in Palma

Answer

Is the Paseo in Palma a place where wildlife and port traffic can clash?

Yes, the Paseo and nearby waterfront areas bring together pedestrians, leisure boats, port activity and shallow coastal water in a small space. That makes the area lively, but it also means wildlife incidents can become harder to manage safely. A stranded animal there quickly becomes both a public-safety issue and a scientific one.
