Crackdown on Anchored Boats in Port de Pollenca: Who Pays the Price?

Answer

Who bears the penalties in Port de Pollenca’s anchoring crackdown, locals or outsiders?

Small local boat owners can face four-figure penalties, which many feel are harder on them than wealthier yacht owners. There are calls for a transparent, uniformly applied enforcement approach and hardship provisions to protect residents who depend on traditional anchoring.
