Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Reserva Marina de les Illes del Ponent de Mallorca, el Toro, les Malgrats i el Sec.
Regional marine reserve in southwest Mallorca off Calvià, established in its current form by Decreto 26/2025 of 4 July (replacing the earlier el Toro/les Malgrats reserve). All maritime fishing and extraction of marine flora and fauna is restricted; high-protection zones around El Toro, Les Malgrats and El Sec apply the strictest limits.
