Too Many Boats, Too Little Sea: Why Mallorca's Coasts Are Reaching Their Limits

Answer

Why are private boat rentals a concern in Mallorca?

Private boat rentals can add more boats to already crowded waters, sometimes without enough oversight or clear responsibility. That creates pressure in sensitive coves and can increase the risk of damage to the seabed and coastline. It is also one reason why many people are calling for clearer licensing and stronger checks in Mallorca.
