Water Quality

Water quality classification for 2022–2023 is good. The 2022 annual classification was sufficient. Short-duration pollution episodes were recorded in 2019, 2020, and 2022. Identified pollution sources include occasional sewage discharges, rainfall runoff (largely mitigated by a hydrodynamic separator that retains suspended solids and oils), and boat discharges. Floating waste accumulation levels are tracked by proportion of debris collected on the Sa Punta to Cala Murada route relative to total waste collected across the Balearic Islands.

Risks

Occasional jellyfish presence. No history of phytoplankton proliferation or cyanobacteria. No rip currents or undertow recorded.
