Tunisian Telegraph: Understanding Posidonia's role
The proposed law to protect the Posidonia plant aims to preserve one of the most important marine ecosystems in the Mediterranean Sea, with its meadows located along the Tunisian coasts, particularly in Gabes Bay, Kerkennah, and Djerba. Posidonia is not just a marine grass; it plays a vital role in protecting beaches from erosion, absorbing carbon dioxide, improving water quality, and providing habitats for numerous marine species. This, in turn, supports Tunisia's fishery resources and the overall environment. Despite criticisms that associate its protection with economic interests, the study emphasizes that safeguarding this plant is essential for maintaining ecological balance, enabling sustainable use of marine resources, and preventing shoreline degradation—especially since its growth is slow and it may take hundreds of years to recover from damage.
