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

Answer

What should I do if I find a dead or injured shark on a beach in Mallorca?

Keep your distance and do not try to move the animal yourself. The safest step is to alert the local authorities or call Spain’s emergency service, especially if the animal is still in shallow water or could drift into danger for swimmers and rescuers. Taking a photo from afar and noting the location can also help professionals respond more effectively.
