SAVE THE POSIDONIA
Although its appearance and its location at the bottom of the sea could make us think that it is an algae, the Posidonia oceanica is a superior plant and probably the most important plant in the marine ecosystem of the Pitiusas.
Posidonia meadows are an endemic species of the Mediterranean Sea that is not present in any other sea in the world. We can find it between the superficial level up to 30-40 meters deep depending on the transparency of the waters, occupying large areas on the Mediterranean coast. It is an endemic species of the Mediterranean and, since 1999, specifically, the meadow of the Natural Park of the Salinas de Ibiza and Formentera was declared a World Heritage Site.
Unlike algae, it has leaves, stem and roots, as well as producing flowers and fruits. It grows both on rocky bottoms and on mobile bottoms, that is, sandy bottoms, while samoto algae grow on hard or rocky bottoms.
