Answer

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

Posidonia is a seagrass that plays an important role in Mallorca's coastal waters. It provides habitat, helps protect the shoreline and stores carbon, so damage from anchors, wave action or repeated disturbance can have long-term effects even if it is not immediately visible.
