6,000-kilometer journey – and now threatened: what Mallorca's eels really lack

Answer

What should Mallorca do to restore streams and canals for wildlife?

Restoring small waterways means improving wastewater treatment, reducing pollution from runoff and making migration routes passable again. Simple measures such as fish passes, restored reed belts and shallow nursery areas can make a real difference. These changes help eels, but they also improve the wider health of Mallorca's freshwater landscapes.
