Answer

What is Posidonia seagrass and why does it matter in Mallorca?

Posidonia seagrass is one of the most important parts of the underwater ecosystem around Mallorca. It helps keep the water clear and supports marine life, which is why it should not be damaged by anchors or careless boating. Many local conservation efforts focus on protecting it because healthy seagrass beds support healthy beaches too.
