In this episode of The BIOIB Podcast we dive -literally- in one of the greatest treasures of the Mediterranean: Posidonia oceanica. An ancient plant that grows just one centimeter a year and forms the largest marine forest in our waters.
The Balearic Islands has been a world pioneer in its protection, with the creation of the first law prohibiting anchoring on Posidonia. A historic measure that has marked a before and after in marine conservation.
We are accompanied by two key players in this story:
🔹 Francisco Mir, CEO of the Centre Balear de Biologia Aplicada
🔹 Marcial Baldonet, president of Mallorca Preservation and head of the Posidonia Monitoring Service at IBANAT (Govern de les Illes Balears).
A conversation about science, environmental awareness and the role of the Balearic Islands as an international reference in marine sustainability.
🎧 Listen to it now and discover what (almost) nobody tells you about posidonia and our underwater forest.
