Aniol Esteban
Director de Fundación Marilles
Marine biologist and environmental economist with managerial experience in the third sector. Leading a new initiative to turn the Balearics into a beacon of marine conservation. Working with multiple stakeholders in the four islands (Mallorca, Minorca, Ibiza, Formentera) to demonstrate that it is possible to reconcile economic prosperity with one of the best preserved marine and coastal environments in the Mediterranean.
Tourism and the environment
The slogan “less tourism, more life” reminds us of the negative implications tourism has on the territory and its people.
Effects of a boiling sea
A few weeks after an intense DANA (isolated depression at high levels) and with record temperatures, not only in our waters but also on a global scale, it is time to talk again about the worrying warming that our waters are suffering.
The more information, the better sea quality
A lack of data limits our ability to manage the pressures on the sea and the Balearic coast.
Legislature and Ministry of the Sea?
Our objective is to help the Balearic Islands become a world reference in marine conservation.
A political compromise that looks to the sea
More than 150 companies and organisations have joined forces to ask all political parties to put marine conservation at the centre of future government action.
Enjoying the sea also means making a commitment
We know what needs to be done to recover our sea.

- Another EuroMillions winner in Mallorca
- Woman seriously injured after being attacked by three pit bulls in Mallorca

Comment
More marine protected areas
These perfectly achievable objectives represent a medium- to long-term investment. We know that for every €1 invested in a marine protected area (MPA) we get a wellspring of benefits.
