Answer

Why is the Son Servera yacht salvage causing criticism in Mallorca?

The main criticism is that a coastal accident appears to be marketed as an exclusive experience instead of being handled as a strictly public-interest operation. Concerns focus on environmental protection, transparency in financing and whether people should be paying for privileged access to a wreck recovery. Many locals see that as unfair on a beach that should remain a shared space.
