Collection of Posidonia fruits beached in Sardinia!

The coordinator of the project SEAFOREST LIFE, DREAm Italia - Progetti europei, together with the researchers Ispra - Higher Institute for Protection and Research ..., collect the first beached fruits of Posidonia oceanica in a beach of Stintino (SS)! This exceptional stranding of the fruits, in this period and in such large quantities, due to the rough conditions of the sea and the strong winds, is however not a good sign: if the plants in the sea lose their fruit, it means that the blooms will not be so abundant . All this is the intangible effect of climate change underway ...

Here are the so-called "sea olives" ... or the fruits of the Posidonia oceanica seagrass! this is why it is not an alga: it has flowers and fruits, unlike the algae that have none of this.
