MALLORCA TODAY - Pollensa worst for coastal irregularities

The Costas Authority took action in 2010 against 356 various breaches of coastal regulations in the Balearics. These related to illegal building, businesses which had exceeded areas which they were permitted to develop, and illegal moorings. It is the latter of these which help explain why Pollensa was the worst-offending municipality in Mallorca. A campaign against such moorings (generally speaking, boats anchored where they shouldn't have been and without permission) was mounted last summer in Puerto Pollensa and elsewhere in Mallorca.
