Greece tests eco-moorings to protect Mediterranean Posidonia seagrass.
New anchoring systems designed to protect Posidonia seagrass meadows – one of the Mediterranean’s most important yet fragile marine ecosystems – are being tested near Athens.
Posidonia seagrass is a key Mediterranean habitat that stores carbon, filters seawater and supports marine life.

El turismo náutico amenaza las praderas de posidonia en el Mediterráneo
Las praderas de posidonia oceánica, esenciales para la biodiversidad y como sumidero de carbono en el Mediterráneo, se enfrentan a una grave amenaza por el turismo masivo y el fondeo incontrolado de embarcaciones. Esta planta milenaria, que crece a un centímetro al año y alberga el 20% de las especi... [Ver más]

Seagrasses are vital in coastal areas, offering crucial ecosystem services and playing a relevant role in coastal protection. The decrease in the density of Mediterranean seagrasses over recent decades, due to warming and anthropogenic stressors, may imply a serious environmental threat. Here we quantify the role of coastal impact reduction induced by seagrass presence under present and future climate. We focus in the Balearic Islands, a representative and well monitored region in the Mediterranean. Our results quantify how important the presence of seagrasses is for coastal protection. The complete loss of seagrasses would lead to an extreme water level (eTWL) increase comparable to the projected sea level rise (SLR) at the end of the century under the high end scenario of greenhouse gases emissions. Under that scenario, the eTWL could increase up to ~ 1.4 m, with 54% of that increase attributed to seagrass loss. These findings underscore the importance of seagrass conservation for coastal protection.
