Sea off Mallorca: When the Underwater Meadow Disappears

Answer

Why is the sea off Mallorca getting warmer?

The Mediterranean is warming faster than the global average, and that is being felt clearly around Mallorca. Local measurements have also shown unusually warm water at depth, which can stress marine habitats and change which species are present. For visitors and residents, that means the sea can feel different from one season to the next, even when the change seems small on paper.
