The name of Barrier Posidonia is a natural reef located next to the coast of Roquetas de Mar, which was declared Natural Monument in 2001 for being one of the few that still remain on the Mediterranean coast< /strong> and that formerly populated these coastal areas. Posidonia is a spectacular marine plant composed of long, ribbon-shaped green leaves that can reach up to a meter in length. In fact, in some areas of the barrier they emerge through above the surface of the water. It is currently The Life Posidonia project is underway, which monitors the meadow thanks to the work of the technicians of theMarine Environment Program of the Ministry of Environment and Territorial Planning , and volunteer divers.
Posidonia Oceanica develops inlarge seabed meadows< /strong> offering a notable diversity due to the great oxygenation of the waters produced in turn by the photosynthesis process of these plants. In the case of the rock reef we can find more than 800 different species of animals so its conservation is of vital importance to continue with the cycle of life underwater Furthermore, thanks to its extensive coastal meadows, it contributes to the fixation of sediments and sands coming from the coast, forming a barrier that effectively prevents the loss of beach surface. strong> Unfortunately, this Posidonia Barrier is a very fragile natural element in a society like the current one since it requires clean and oxygenated water, that there are no major changes in temperature or salinity and that there is no type of contamination so it is extremely important that it is controlled and cared for at all times.< /p>
