Have you ever wondered about the fascinating world beneath the ocean’s surface? The vast marine ecosystems hold countless wonders and mysteries yet often remain hidden from our daily lives. Today’s blog post will dive deep into the Oceanogràfic València – Projecte Posidònia. This awe-inspiring initiative aims to bring the wonders of the marine world closer to our communities and protect the rich marine biodiversity of the Comunidad Valenciana.
The Oceanogràfic València – Projecte Posidònia is a project that has been developed with the primary objective of conveying the value of the marine ecosystem to schools and various community groups in the municipalities of the study area. Additionally, it seeks to safeguard the seagrass meadows, known as Posidonia oceanica, which are crucial in supporting the marine environment.
Posidonia meadows and aorNeptune grass are unique and fascinating features of the marine world. These seagrass meadows provide a haven for numerous marine species, acting as a nursery and feeding ground for many organisms. They are also highly efficient in trapping sediments and releasing oxygen, improving water quality and diminishing coastal erosion. The role of Posidonia meadows in maintaining the marine food web is essential, as they provide shelter and food for a wide variety of organisms, from tiny invertebrates to large predatory fish.
Collaboration lies at the heart of the Oceanogràfic València – Projecte Posidònia. Mediterranean Fund de Banca March, alongside other organizations such as Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, S. A., Mireia Mollà (Consejera de Agricultura), and GVA Agricultura, have joined forces to ensure the success of this incredible initiative. This collaboration brings together experts in various fields, including zoology, ecology, and marine conservation, to implement comprehensive strategies for protecting and promoting marine biodiversity.
One of the most inspiring aspects of this project is its positive impact on local communities. By bringing the wonders of the marine world directly to schools and other community groups, the Oceanogràfic València – Projecte Posidònia aims to raise awareness and foster a sense of responsibility among the younger generation. Educating children about the importance of marine ecosystems is crucial in instilling a sense of stewardship and encouraging sustainable practices. Through interactive workshops, educational materials, and direct experiences, the project connects individuals and the marine world, inspiring them to take action to protect it.
In addition to the educational aspect, the project also focuses on conserving Posidonia meadows. The team at Oceanogràfic València, supported by its partners, will conduct a cartographic study of the marine areas in the Marina Alta region. This study will enable them to identify and map the extent of Posidonia meadows, providing vital information for their protection and management. By collaborating with local fishermen, divers, and environmental organizations, the project aims to develop sustainable practices and establish protected areas to ensure the long-term survival of these crucial habitats.
The Oceanogràfic València – Projecte Posidònia is an inspiring endeavor highlighting the importance of marine ecosystems and engaging local communities in their protection. By bringing the ocean’s wonders to schools and community groups, the project ignites curiosity and appreciation for the marine world. Through collaborative efforts and the mapping of Posidonia meadows, the project contributes directly to preserving valuable habitats and conserving marine biodiversity.
Let us celebrate the Oceanogràfic València – Projecte Posidònia and its incredible achievements. Together, we can make a difference and ensure the preservation of our marine environment for generations to come. So, dive in, explore, and be a part of this exciting journey for the protection of our oceans!

Hemos presentado el #ProjectePosidonia junto a Mediterranean Fund de Banca March, Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, S. A., Mireia Mollà (Consejera de Agricultura) y GVA Agricultura.
Un proyecto que tiene como objetivo trasladar el valor del ecosistema a la comunidad escolar y grupos poblacionales de los municipios del área de estudio así como proteger los fondos marinos de la #ComunidadValenciana.
Desde la #FundaciónOceanogràfic se desarrollará un estudio cartográfico en los espacios marinos de la Marina Alta que permitirá identificar el área de las praderas de posidonia.
