Dead Shark at the Paseo: A Wake-up Call for Better Coastal Protection in Palma

Answer

Can you swim near a dead shark or other stranded animal in Mallorca?

It is better not to swim close to a stranded animal, especially if authorities are already on site or the water is rough. Crowds at the shoreline can also make it harder for rescuers to work and for experts to document the animal properly. If you are at the beach, follow local instructions and keep clear of the area.
