Posidonia meadows are the lungs of the sea. They absorb enormous amounts of CO2; indeed, about half of the oxygen we breathe is produced underwater. These meadows are responsible for the transparency of the Mediterranean waters and the beauty and biodiversity of their landscapes. During the winter, posidonia protects the beaches and dune areas from erosion, as well as maintaining the quality of the sand. For the last 5 decades, data indicates that between 13% and 40% of seagrasses have been lost. This is an alarming statistic as sea grass grows very slowly, at a rate of just 2cm per year.
It is therefore essential for us all to take urgent action to take care of
posidonia and its marine ecosystem, and
spread awareness among our yachting community in Mediterranean waters.
This concerns us all - if there is not enough green, we cannot enjoy the blue!
