A study by a doctor of geography and geology at the University of the Balearic Islands, Francesc Xavier Roig, has drawn into question the value of Blue Flags. His study is against the background of the Balearics now having only 27 Blue Flags; the record number was 72 in 2010. But this decrease has rarely had anything to do with beach or water quality; it's due to the fact that the award isn't applied for.
