Answer

Why is the sand issue at Playa de Palma also a coastal protection problem?

Because the problem is not only about cleanliness and comfort. If more sand is moved inland or lost to the sea during storms, the beach can slowly become less stable and the coastline may need more expensive repairs later. That makes the issue relevant for planning, safety and long-term maintenance in Mallorca.
