Decline off Cabrera: Who owns the sea — and who pays the price?

Answer

What does warming sea water around Mallorca do to marine life?

Rising sea temperatures can change habitats, shift species patterns and weaken sensitive ecosystems such as seagrass meadows. Around Mallorca, that can mean fewer indicators of a healthy sea and less resilience when extreme conditions arrive. The effects are often gradual, but they can reshape the entire coastal ecosystem over time.
