Mediterranean network of Posidonia: Region of Murcia contributes to the protection of the species

Mediterranean network of Posidonia: Region of Murcia contributes to the protection of the speciesour sea Mediterranean It is getting more and more threatened by the consequences of human activities that purchase marine ecosystems, and therefore reduce their biodiversity.

One of the bio indicators of an excellent quality of sea defenses is the Oceanic Posidonia. The presence of this marine plant, which forms the most complex and important ecosystem of the Mediterranean Sea, is clear proof that the marine environment is of good quality and a good state of preservation.

The ecological and economic importance of the Pradera de Posidonia Oceanica:

  • It represents an important breeding and institutional area for different types of economic interest.
  • It gives refuge and food for youth and adults of species representing a resource for coastal fishing.

However, In countless enclaves of our coast, this marine fanerogam -meadows are seriously affectedS. in some cases as a result of the Water pollution, changes in sediment dynamics, the decrease in water transparency, constructions in the coast, the insufficient practice of towing fish, the presence of invasive species who change their habitat and eliminate them, etc …

Given the importance that these ecosystems have for the preservation of marine biodiversity, it is essential.

Weld Control Networks of the meadows of Posidonia Oceanica form an important element for the Knowledge, protection and management of this marine phanerogam.
