Answer
What can Mallorca marinas do to reduce marine waste?
Marinas can make a real difference by offering easy, free disposal points for boat waste and separate collection for fishing gear. Better access matters because if disposal is inconvenient, waste is more likely to end up in the sea. Clear infrastructure, regular monitoring, and proper waste handling can prevent a lot of avoidable pollution.
