Video of the boats has been uploaded to Social Media Networks by journalist Lucía Bohórquez, who tweeted:
"Recorded right now from the cliffs of Son Verí Nou. First day of new measures of the @goib

Again just typical for Mallorca, rules introduced and ignored. It's not as though the boats don't have names is it. Go prosecute the owners, simples.
Confiscate the boats and lock up the owners and staff. This type of behaviour endangers other people's health and the island's economy. How can we expect decent, reasonable to people follow the rules if others can ignore them with impunity?
