Mallorca's sea is one of the island's great natural treasures, but it also faces challenges such as pollution, indiscriminate fishing and mass tourism. As a visitor, you can do your part to help conserve it. In this article we give you some practical tips for caring for the sea while enjoying your holiday on the island.
Enjoy the sea responsibly
When you go sailing or take part in water activities, such as boat trips or snorkelling, it's essential to do so respectfully towards the environment. Here are a few recommendations:
- Don't touch or disturb marine wildlife: keep a respectful distance from marine animals, such as dolphins or turtles, and avoid touching or feeding them.
- Don't leave rubbish in the sea: never throw rubbish or plastics into the water, as they can seriously damage the marine ecosystem. Always take your rubbish with you.
- Use eco-friendly sunscreen: traditional cosmetic products can be toxic to coral and other marine species. Choose biodegradable, environmentally friendly sunscreens.
Use sustainable transport options
