The aim of the MedSeaGrass project is to restore the integrity of priority marine habitat Posidonia oceanica meadow through environmental engineering interventions act to repopulate a degraded area of the MPA "Penisola del Sinis - Isola di Mal di Ventre", and to protect the habitat through the development of a mooring management system in the Marine Protected Area.
Activities include
