Did you know that Posidonia oceanica is a powerful weapon in the fight against climate change? This seagrass species has an impressive carbon absorption capacity, soaking up 15 times more carbon dioxide each year than a similarly sized piece of the Amazon rainforest. Plus, its egagropili balls, made of fibrous material from its foliage, are an added bonus.
