The true essence of the Mediterranean? Posidonia oceanica, a seagrass found nowhere else on Earth. 🌱

During a recent dive in Mallorca, we found a ghost net tangled with Posidonia, likely ripped from the seabed.

This seagrass:
🌊 keeps the Balearic waters crystal clear
🐠 provides a nursery for marine life
🌱 produces more oxygen than rainforests

But above all, it is one of our greatest allies against climate change, capturing and storing huge amounts of blue carbon.

Yet ghost nets and marine debris continue to destroy ecosystems that took centuries to grow.

The Mediterranean is beautiful.
But it is also fragile.

And protecting it can start with something as simple as removing what does not belong there.💙
