Answer
Why are seahorses important for Mallorca's coastline?
Seahorses are sensitive to changes in the marine environment, so they are often seen as a sign of healthy coastal waters. Around Mallorca, they are closely linked to seagrass meadows, which support biodiversity and help protect the shoreline. When seahorse populations are doing well, it can point to a more balanced coastal ecosystem.
