This day is an opportunity to highlight the importance of the role of seagrass meadows in decelerating the decline of biodiversity and slowing down climate change.

Their contribution to the balance of many ecosystems is enormous. Their destruction of these meadows by human activities, particularly anchoring, means that countless marine species are deprived of a place to live, reproduce and feed. Seagrass meadows are also carbon sinks maintaining hundreds of years old stocks of carbon. Their destruction releases the carbon into the atmosphere and accelerates global warming.

BlueSeeds is working to protect them—Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows in particular—through promising projects:

⛵ Our mooring management tool BlueMooring enables marine protected area managers to raise boaters’ awareness of the presence of Posidonia meadows in the area where they wish to moor;

🔍 The exploration of business models to facilitate the implementation of mooring infrastructures in the Mediterranean, integrating a financing mechanism based on the protection of Posidonia meadows to generate carbon credits;

👥 BlueSeeds is also a member of the Mediterranean Posidonia Network which brings together different stakeholders concerned with protecting Posidonia oceanica and working to prevent its future degradation.
