Posidonia and its benefits

Posidonia is a marine plant endemic to the Mediterranean, essential for the health of marine ecosystems. On Benidorm's beaches, Posidonia forms extensive underwater meadows that provide multiple benefits:

Coastal Protection: Its roots and rhizomes stabilize the seabed, reducing erosion and protecting beaches from sand loss.
Water Quality: It filters and oxygenates the water, improving its clarity and quality.
Biodiversity: It provides habitat and food for marine species, promoting biodiversity.
CO2 Capture: It absorbs carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate climate change.
The conservation of Posidonia is vital to maintaining the beauty and health of Benidorm's beaches.
