At the start of July, the mayor of Andratx, Jaume Porsell, announced that there was to be a study into the incidence of planktonic algae that appears off Sant Elm in the summer. The cause of the green colour of the sea when the summer weather is at its hottest is said to be something of a mystery, and the town hall is now using drones to study the currents. These have been capturing data with which the dynamics of the currents can be determined. The town hall's environment department is using the data to create a thermal map of the sea water off Sant Elm.

Sorry to DRONE on about this green sea. But do you think the algae causing the problem, should be removed?. Instead of playing with drones, determine how it can be removed, surely !!!.
