Brief Description of the Posidonia Festival Project Print E-mail

Posidonia 

Posidonia oceanica ("posidonia" is also the common Spanish name), commonly known in English as Sea Grass, is an angiosperm plant, adapted to life underwater. It is a key element to preserving the Mediterranean coastal ecosystems. At present, posidonia prairies are reducing their extension throughout the whole Mediterranean Sea. Still, some of the oldest and best-preserved prairies are found all around Formentera.

Aim

Organizing an annual festival which will connect ecology, tourism and the world of art, involving local and international agents.

The project wants to be an opportunity to further enrich the cultural and tourist development and a unique experience.

The Festival will be a part of international networks of similar initiatives, and wants to be a meeting point for art, ecology and tourism professionals.  It should become a laboratory for sustainable solutions for the tourist industry and create a center of experimentation, reflection and promotion of these initiatives.
