		The oceanic Posidonia is an endemic plant that lives in the Mediterranean sea between 10 and 40m of depth.
		The Posidonia prairies grow on the sandy seabed and rarely grow on rocks, they provide great quantities of oxygen to the water and a lot of organic material that is useful for the fish, as they use it as food.
		The posidonia is a plant that lives only where the light reaches it but different subspecies live at different depths.

		A first transplantation experiment was launched in August 2001 consisting in 10 grids of 1m2 placed on a natural sand patch in the Posidonia meadow (17 m depth).
		However, it is possible that the low leaf biomass of transplants is related to their difficulty to meet the nutrient requirements of the plant.
		On the contrary, shoots placed on pre-coated grids without further electrification were healthy and, therefore, this protocol appears for the moment as the most adapted to transplant P. oceanica using the EAT methodology.

		Generalmente è presente dalla superficie marina fino a circa 30-40 metri, dove normalmente trova condizioni di illuminazione sufficiente a svolgere la fotosintesi.
		Le funzioni della prateria a posidonia sono molteplici e di fondamentale importanza per la vita dell’ambiente marino.
		La posidonia però è costantemente minacciata da azioni compiute dall’uomo: la pesca a strascico, ad esempio, danneggia in modo irreparabile le sue piante; l’ancoraggio selvaggio delle barche, strappando grandi quantità di foglie e fusti, crea delle ferite che, con il passare del tempo, tendono ad allargarsi, minando la struttura stessa della prateria.

	La Posidonia oceanica, fuente de vida
		La Posidonia oceánica florece en Otoño (aunque no siempre) y da unos frutos llamados "aceitunas de mar", unas bolas que, tras desprenderse de la planta, flotan hasta la orilla del mar donde suelen aparecer entre Mayo y Junio.
		La Posidonia también atrae a numerosos peces (carnívoros y omnívoros) que se alimentan de crustáceos, erizos, moluscos, gusanos...
		Uno de los efectos del follaje de la Posidonia es que frena la masa de agua ocasionando la caída de numerosas partículas en suspensión que sirve de alimento, no solo a los epifitos mencionados anteriormente también a otros filtradores, como los espirógrafos, las grandes ascidias y algunas esponjas.

	Posidonienschiefer: Lagerstätten Catalogue: University of Bristol
		Members of the bivalve family Posidonidae such as Bositra ('Posidonia') have been variously interpreted as being pseudoplanktonic, free swimming, and benthic although today the latter is considered most likely.
		One of the most impressive specimens from the Posidonia Shale is a 15m long log smothered in clumps of bivalves and hundreds of crinoids.
		They eventually overburdened the log which suspended them in the oxygenated water column and sank to the sea bed and were preserved as they lay.

		La Posidonia oceanica è una pianta evoluta, simile alle graminacee terrestri, facente parte della famiglia delle Fanerogame.
		La Posidonia è, inoltre, un importante indicatore biologico, essendo molto sensibile agli agenti inquinanti e, per questo, in forte regressione nelle aree di costa mediterranea.
		Se in passato la Posidonia oceanica è stata usata in molti modi, ormai in gran parte abbandonati, come materiale da imballaggio o da isolamento termico o come mangime o concime per ogni coltura, attualmente si sta valutando la possibilità di utilizzarla, mediante opportuni trattamenti, anche per produrre biogas.

	WWF - EC takes Spain to court for damaging its beaches
		Posidonia sea-grass meadows, an important defense against beach erosion, were damaged by sand dredging undertaken by the Spanish government.
		Posidonia is an endangered species whose meadows buffer strong waves, prevent excessive washing away of sediments from the beach, and thus act as the main defense against beach erosion.
		In reaction, WWF-Spain sent a request to the EU to ask for explanations from the Spanish Ministry of Environment.
