A MORNING TO REMEMBER THE IMPORTANCE OF POSIDONIA
In recent months the German production company ARD Mediathek & Das Erste filmed the young Lucas to show the work that has been done in the last 10 years from the island of Formentera to protect Posidonia oceanica. Whitesand Solutions, a member of the steering committee of the Med Posidonia Network, was there to provide support with environmental experts and technical support to enable the recordings to take place.
During the film we can see how Lucas, a young man from the island, teaches his friend the importance of anchor management in the meadows along our coastline. Formentera has always been a pioneer in the protection of Posidonia through the awareness of people working at sea, international companies and press agencies. In addition, the island promoted the creation of specific legislation for this species and the cartography of the meadows to be included in nautical charts.
From Whitesand we would like to thank the production company for making this film that will help to save many square metres of Posidonia through awareness raising and the younger generation!
