Mallorca waters in PSOE plan for 30% protection by 2030

Mallorca, in Spain’s Balearic Islands, is covered by a PSOE call to protect 30% of the region’s marine areas by 2030: Marc Pons, the party’s candidate on Menorca for Spain’s Congress of Deputies, backs the target on Monday, 9 November 2026. He says at least 10% of that area should have strict protection.

Pons points to the Montreal biodiversity agreement, adopted at the COP15 United Nations conference in 2022. To help meet its target, he wants Congress to pass a law defining the Balearic sea in legal terms. The law would set a framework for protection and regulate how the waters are used.

Before that happens, Pons says the law needs agreement among those affected. He wants public authorities, scientists, environmental groups and the fishing sector involved in drawing it up.
