Get to Know

Posidonia Oceánica

We invite you to learn all about this Mediterranean lung.

32

Leading responsible tourism丨Posidonia

Did you know …? ▶

It is an endemic species of the Mediterranean Sea and a fundamental pillar of its underwater ecosystem.

▶

Contrary to what many people think, it is not seaweed! This plant surprises with its characteristics similar to terrestrial plants, such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits.

▶

The leaves of Posidonia constantly renew themselves, shedding the oldest leaves to make room for new ones. This process takes place especially in autumn and early winter, renewing its vitality.

▶

Could Posidonia oceanica be the oldest living thing on the planet? Scientists estimate that some meadows may be up to 100,000 years old, an impressive natural wonder.

▶

Posidonia meadows have been recognised and declared a World Heritage Site in several parts of the Mediterranean.

Join the protection of this unique treasure and immerse yourself in its fascinating underwater world.

33

The View丨Iberostar

Benefits of Posidonia ▶

It is a source of biodiversity: it provides us with food, as it is a refuge for fauna and marine life, and allows us to enjoy diving among its meadows.

▶

Posidonia oceanica contributes to mitigating climate change. This plant is able to absorb large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to reduce the carbon footprint and slow down climate change.

▶

Their presence on our coasts is key to protecting them and keeping our beaches in good condition. When they are in the sea, they reduce the energy of the waves. When they accumulate on the beach, they prevent the sand from being washed away by the waves.

▶

Posidonia oceanica functions as a great filtering plant, helping to keep the waters of the Mediterranean clean and crystalline.

Do you want to offer your clients an unforgettable holiday by the sea?

The protection of Posidonia Oceanica is the key for them to enjoy a unique experience on the Mediterranean coast.

34

Leading responsible tourism丨Posidonia

The Data It is estimated that Posidonia oceanica meadows in the Mediterranean absorb and store 7.5 million tonnes of carbon per year, equivalent to the natural emissions of around 3 million vehicles.
