Plastic Pellets in Mallorca: Who Will Stop the White Beads on the Beach?

Answer

Why are plastic pellets a problem for Mallorca’s coast and marine life?

Plastic pellets are not just litter; they can be mistaken for food by seabirds, fish, and other marine animals. Once swallowed, they may cause physical harm, and they can also carry pollutants or additives into the food chain. For Mallorca, that matters because the island depends heavily on healthy beaches, fishing, and clean seawater.
