Mallorca is a very popular travel destination among Germans: on top of the approximately *** million tourist arrivals from other Spanish regions, approximately **** million visits from the central European country were registered by the island in 2023. With a wide margin, residents of the United Kingdom were the second-largest international group to enjoy the sun on the Spanish destination. Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, which constitute one of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities and are home to a population of over *** million people.

In 2022, the Balearic Islands welcomed more than ** percent of its annual international inbound air passenger traffic between June and September, registering around *** million arrivals each month. International holidaymakers are key drivers of the tourism sector in the region: foreign tourists stayed on average *** days enjoying the islands’ great weather in 2022, a less than ***** percent decrease from the previous year. Similarly, the per capita daily expenditure of international travelers in the Balearic Islands decreased to *** euros in 2022. Tourism is key both for the Islands and for the country Tourism has grown to become one of the most important sectors not only for the Spanish community but for the entire country.

The aim of this study is to analyse the role played by E. maritimum in the dune pollination network of the Balearic Islands, where there is an intense anthropogenic impact in its habitat. For this purpose, two populations located in the North and South of Mallorca were chosen, in which diurnal transects were carried out to observe and capture pollinators on 15 plant species during the anthesis period of E. maritimum. The flowering period of 10 plant species flowering at the same period than E. maritimum was analysed to identify periods of competition First sampling area was located in Son Serra de Marina (SS, 39.7309N, 3.2382E), in the North of the island. We carried out three 50m linear transects along the seashore. Transects were randomly located at a minimum of 100 m from each other in order to enhance the chances of a fair sampling of most of the flora. In both areas, vegetation, and so transects, followed a clear sequence from the seashore inland. Areas were sampled for 10 weeks, from the beginning of E. maritimum flowering in the first week of June until the second week of July, plus two weeks extra (one after and one before) in order two observe pollinator diversity variation. Surveys took place between 08:00–18:00h under favourable weather conditions. A pollinator survey involved an observer slowly walking (40 min) along a transect and recording only those insects that contacted the plant's reproductive structures while actively searching for pollen and/or nectar. The dataset indicates each observation in a single row. Population, hour, transect, pollinator and plant taxonomical information, if the pollinator was captured, photographed or if it visited multiple species is indicated.
