Posidonia oceanica

Posidonia oceanica is a seagrass species found in the Mediterranean Sea. It plays a crucial role in marine ecosystems by providing habitat and food for various marine organisms. This plant helps stabilize the seabed, preventing erosion, and improves water quality by filtering pollutants and producing oxygen. Posidonia oceanica meadows are important for biodiversity and serve as indicators of environmental health. They are sensitive to climate change and human activities, making their conservation vital for maintaining marine ecosystems and protecting coastal areas.
