The public company managing the autonomous ports removes the dead concrete buoys on the Posidonia and installs anchors with low environmental impact as part of its commitment to the conservation of the natural environment in the area.
PortsIB opens, this coming Saturday 20th July, the buoy field of the regulated anchorage of Formentor, which can be booked from the booking platform (http://reservas.portsib.es/reservas) from the day before, Friday 19th. This opening will allow sailors to manage their bookings in advance and enjoy comfortable and organised access to the available buoys.

PortsIB activates the reserve of buoys in the Formentor anchoring field
On 24 May, Ports IB launched the buoy booking platform for seven of the eight buoy fields coordinated by the public company of the Government of the Balearic Islands, the only one still pending being the Formentor buoy field. The buoy fields available to date include: Cap Blanc – Cala Blava and Sant Elm in Mallorca; Badia de S’Alga – S’Espalmador, Es Caló de S’Oli and Platja de Ses Salines in Eivissa and Formentera; and Badia Fornells and Illa d’en Colom – Cala Tamarells in Menorca.
From this Friday, users of the online platform will also be able to book the Formentor buoy course, as well as having access to other integrated services. PortsIB’s new booking platform has been designed to offer an improved user experience, facilitating a simpler, more convenient and streamlined booking process. The tool is compatible with mobile devices and multiple browsers, and includes advanced security features such as two-factor authentication.
Concrete dead removal
In addition to the implementation of the platform, PortsIB has made significant efforts to protect the environment in the Formentor area. It has proceeded to remove the concrete dead bodies that were located on the oceanic posidonia and others that were out of use. This action, which is part of PortsIB’s commitment to the conservation of the natural environment, has been accompanied by the installation of low environmental impact anchors that help preserve the delicate marine ecosystems.
The launch of this booking platform coincides with the start of the high sailing season, offering users an efficient tool for planning their anchorages. This system not only facilitates the management of reservations but also contributes to the management and regulation of anchoring in Formentor, ensuring that environmental regulations are complied with and sensitive marine areas are protected.
