Answer

Who searches for missing boats in the Balearic Sea?

Searches can involve coast guards, rescue aircraft, patrol boats, and sometimes civil rescue organisations. In the Balearic area, coordination can be complicated because the route crosses international waters and involves different authorities. The speed of the response often depends on how quickly a credible distress report reaches the right people.
