Plant seagrass meadows with Posidonia volunteers

Help Mediterranean seagrass meadows recover

Posidonia oceanica meadows shelter fish nurseries, calm waves, and store carbon along Spanish and Italian coasts. Volunteer planting and monitoring programmes invite residents to restore underwater meadows bay by bay.

What you can do

• Join GreenLife4Seas citizen science and restoration calls along the Catalan and Apulian coasts
• Learn safe planting techniques with local diving clubs and marine biologists
• Map meadow edges and report anchor damage to harbour managers

How it works

Teams coordinate seasonal planting windows when water is clear. Volunteers with snorkel or dive certification plant shoots in marked plots and return to photograph recovery.

Why it matters

Seagrass meadows are living breakwaters: they protect beaches, feed fisheries, and keep water clear for everyone who swims nearby.
