Answer

What should I do if I spot a sea turtle while boating or diving around Mallorca?

Keep your distance and do not touch or feed the animal. Photos are fine from afar, and flash should be avoided. For divers, move slowly, maintain neutral buoyancy, and respect the turtle’s resting zone. Reporting sightings helps researchers—upload photos to local authorities or recognized conservation groups or report by phone.
