LEADIN:
Oceans will be one of the seven main themes of this year's U.N. climate summit in Madrid.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in a report earlier this year that the warming of oceans and ice will harm people, plants, animals, food and the economy.
However the report also said that plants associated with coastal waters such as mangroves and sea grass meadows could help mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon.
In the Balearics efforts are being made to protect precious seagrass meadows, known as Posidonia prairies.
STORYLINE :
Summer season is over at the Spanish island of Ibiza and its smaller sister Formentera.
Pirates once roamed these coasts but today the treasure that lies beneath the waves is a natural resource.
The clear turquoise waters that attract so many tourists are partly down to the presence of a seagrass called posidonia oceanica, which is found in abundance here.
Posidonia meadows play a key role in maintaining the biodiversity and oxygenation of the sea around them.
There are 50,000 square kilometres (19,000 square miles) of posidonia meadows in the Mediterranean Sea, 5 percent of them in the Balearic Islands according to local government officials.
Miquel Mir, the regional minister of environment of the Balearic government says that protecting the posidonia is a key priority in the region.
"The government has been working several years already in the preservation of the oceanic posidonia in the Balearic Islands. One of the first measures implemented was the approval of a law designed to preserve the posidonia. And this became a pioneering legal framework not only in Spain but also in the whole Mediterranean area as well as the rest of Europe. And this is destined to guarantee the future preservation of this endemic marine plant that we have here in the Mediterranean Sea. It basically applies to certain practices which could cause a negative impact on the plant."
Mir was responding on camera to questions posed by the Associated Press via email.
One of the main threats to the plant is careless anchoring of leisure and fishing boats.
The constant anchoring of boats into the seagrass meadows has started to kill many of the plants around the islands.
Sailing is a popular past time in the Balearics, so the government has implemented a scheme to educate locals and holidaymakers how to anchor without damaging the underwater prairies.
The damage to the posidonia happens when the anchor is lifted out of the water again and drag the plant from the seabed in large chunks.
Throwing an anchor over it takes only a few seconds but causes damage that takes years for nature to repair.
The plant grows around two centimetres each year.
Degradation of posidonia reduces basic functions of the submarine meadows including their capacity to recapture CO2 - almost half million tons a year say local government officials. - as well as retain sediment, filter particles and prevent erosion of the islands' beautiful beaches.
During the six months of the summer season a flotilla of 15 patrol speedboats navigate around the Balearic islands advising owners of yachts not to throw their anchors into areas where they can see plants in the water.
This past summer 40, 000 boats were inspected, with only 400 violations, indicating that the scheme is working say the authorities.
But the biggest and richest posidonia prairies lie beneath the waters of the strait that separates the islands of Ibiza and Formentera.
Two decades ago, Formentera, the smallest of the Balearics, was a forgotten corner of the Mediterranean.
But today its white sandy beaches and turquoise waters have turned this once lone outpost into one of Europe's most desired holiday destinations.
And all this thanks to the posidonia.
In 1991 the autonomous government decided to protect the strait between the two islands by creating the Ses Salines Natural Park.
Alejandra Ferrer is the president of the island's local government.
"It's been 20 years now since the posidonia prairies have been listed as world heritage by UNESCO. But we become aware of the necessity of taking care of this plant only 10 years ago. A plant responsible for those colours of our beaches. And as we like to say they are the lungs of the Mediterranean Sea," she says.
In 2017 Formentera started a campaign called Save Posidonia, now other islands in the Mediterranean Sea are following suit.
In 2011 the local authorities opened an interpretation centre to educate people on the importance of this plant.
The plant is very sensitive to climate change.
It doesn't flower regularly each summer, only when temperatures are higher than average. .
And if global temperatures continue in the rise, it could lead to more frequent blossoming or, even worse, could kill them.
"They (posidonia) constitute a very important mechanism of under water CO2 capture. But we don't know very much how global warming will affect the posidonia prairies. We don't know how they will react to it. For instance the posidonia doesn't blossom regularly each year. It usually blossoms when temperatures are high. What could happen ? It may blossom more often. Or the mechanism could reach saturation and it won't blossom anymore." explains Maria Galludo, who runs the education centre.
The seagrass is also very sensitive to pollution.
So much it is used as an indicator of sea pollution in the area where it grows.
They've tried to grow artificial prairies in the sandy shores of the island.
But until now efforts haven't been successful.
The vast prairies act as a fish nursery as well as preventing coastal erosion, produce oxygen and it is a crucial carbon sink absorbing 7% of total carbon emissions of the islands, according to the regional government.
The local government is about to complete mapping of the posidonia surrounding the islands, a first for a Mediterranean country.
But despite the efforts being made here Greenpeace says posidonia is still under threat in the Balearics.
Illegal anchoring is under control, but an estimated 7 per cent of the total surface is lost each year as pollution and acidity of the Mediterranean increases, say local government officials.
And according to Greenpeace's spokesperson Pilar Marcos when it comes to protecting the posidonia coordination of efforts between the four Balearic Islands can be improved.
"(The level of protection for the posidonia in the Balearic Islands) It differs. In some areas they are assigning funds to patrol the prairies. There is a regulatory system for the oceanic posidonia currently in action. But it isn't well balanced. Nevertheless, the policies implemented in the Balearic Islands are the most advanced in the Mediterranean Sea."
Marcos was responding on camera to questions posed by the Associated Press via email.
Posidonia inhabits the Mediterranean and Caribbean seas, but it is particularly prolific around Ibiza and Formentera.
The seabeds average a depth of 18 metres (60 feet) but can reach as deep as 50 metres (165 feet).
