Traffic sign on the seabed: symptom of a larger cleanliness gap off Mallorca

Answer

What practical steps can Mallorca's authorities take to prevent such debris?

Short-term steps include an emergency protocol among Andratx, Calvià, ports, and diving clubs, with specialist services for heavier recoveries. Medium-term measures include regular inventories of vulnerable coves and a public reporting portal with a prioritized find-spots map. Prevention and financing should focus on securing road and construction equipment along the coast, mandatory checks for coastal transports, and a fund financed by local businesses and tourism taxes.
