No moor in Puerto Pollensa Bay, says Council

Mayor Tomeu Cifre said on Thursday that "we are asking that the number of moorings proposed by Ports IB be reduced by eliminating those for large boats".

There is satisfaction that the regional government's ports authority, Ports IB, "wants, once and for all, to regulate anchoring, but in addition to regulation, it is necessary to considerably reduce the number of buoys that are proposed in the plan". If not, "it will be impossible to reduce the pressure that currently exists on the Posidonia meadow habitat, with all the environmental problems that this entails".

The town hall is also asking Ports IB to move the dry dock and the dry marina, which is used for the repair of boats and trailer parking, to the area known as 'Moll Nou'. This would free up space for pedestrian use and reduce mobility problems with traffic jams that are caused in high season.
