Sea off Mallorca: When the Underwater Meadow Disappears

Answer

What can Mallorca do to protect its underwater seagrass meadows?

Protecting Posidonia in Mallorca usually means combining several measures rather than relying on one fix. Better anchoring rules, cleaner wastewater, less runoff from land and long-term monitoring all help reduce pressure on the seagrass. Local involvement from fishers, divers, schools and coastal businesses can also make protection more effective.
