The oceanic posidonia protagonist of the Day of the Balearic Islands

With the motive of the Day of the Balearic Islands, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Natural Environment Council has organized a set of activities for all of the islands. The general Directorate of Natural Environment and the Forest Management will coordinate a special stand dedicated to the oceanic posidonia and the significant advances accomplished in its conservation, located at the Parc de la Mar of Palma, on Thursday the 29th of February until the 3rd of March.

This initiative puts a special emphasis on the environment education, a fundamental pilar to start awareness and compromise to the community towards the protection of our marine ecosystems.

The stand will have the collaboration of the educators of natural areas of the Balearic Institute of Nature (Ibanat) and the support of the Aula del Mar, a recognized center for education about the sea and, in particular, about posidonia oceanica, located in La Petrolera, in Portitxol. This stand will be a meeting point for all those interested in learning more about the importance of posidonia, a key element in the health of our seas and a vital habitat for many marine species.

The commitment to environmental education through the Aula del Mar and the active participation of Ibanat's natural areas educators underline the commitment of the Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Natural Environment to disseminate and raise awareness of the importance of marine conservation.
