NIVEA and MEDSEA Foundation Partner for Posidonia oceanica Restoration Project in Regno di Nettuno, Ischia's Marine Protected Area
The MEDSEA Foundation is the scientific partner of Nivea for the Posidonia oceanica seagrass reforestation project "Oasi Marina" by NIVEA, which this year involves the Marine Protected Area "Regno di Nettuno" on the Island of Ischia.
The intervention involves planting approximately 2,000 Posidonia oceanica cuttings in a degraded marine meadow of 200 square meters in the locality of Lacco Ameno.
OUR MISSION
We want to accelerate a process of change that is already in progress and make sure that the ecological transition is fast enough to meet the ultimate goal of arresting biodiversity loss and keep our Mediterranean Sea clean, healthy and productive.
