The GOB wants to ban anchoring within 50 meters of coves to address pressure on the Balearic Islands' coastline.

PalmThe GOB has presented the Manifesto for a habitable, safe and protected coastline, with the aim of addressing the pressure on the Balearic Islands' coves and beaches during the summer. The document calls for more responsible coastal management and requests the involvement of public authorities in preserving these natural spaces.

One of the notable proposals is the regulation of anchoring in unmarked bathing areas. The manifesto proposes establishing a safe, anchor-free zone to prevent the massive occupation of boats in these areas. Specifically, the GOB, along with other entities, wants to prohibit anchoring within 50 meters of coves and within 20 meters of unmarked coastal areas.

Environmental organizations are encouraging coastal municipalities to expand bather protection zones in coves and beaches. This measure, they assert, could make recreational use of the sea compatible with the safety and conservation of coastal areas.
