The underwater meadows are unique ecosystems that cover nearly 50 km² of sea and are real reservoirs of biodiversity. They are populated by many emblematic or protected species, such as lambis, white sea urchins, or green turtles.
Seagrass beds play a crucial role in the marine environment by allowing a good oxygenation of the water, stabilizing the substrate and providing a food source for many species. In particular, they are the main food source for green turtles and also serve as nurseries for other emblematic species such as king lobsters.
In addition, seagrass beds are important habitats for many fish, crabs, mollusks, and starfish, which find food and shelter there. Seagrass beds are also breeding grounds for many fish, such as rainbow and butterfly fish.
Finally, seagrass beds are a must for scuba diving and snorkeling enthusiasts, who can admire the beauty and diversity of these unique ecosystems. Seagrass beds are also protected areas for marine species and are often breeding grounds for fish, turtles and dolphins.
