Arrecife Barrera de Posidonia
Arrecife Barrera de Posidonia, Natural monument and protected marine area in Roquetas de Mar, Spain.
The barrier reef extends along the Mediterranean coast between Roquetas de Mar and Aguadulce, forming a natural structure of Posidonia oceanica plants.
The site received official recognition as a natural monument in 2001, marking a significant step in protecting Mediterranean marine ecosystems.
Local fishing communities maintain their traditional practices in the waters near the reef, which contains numerous commercial fish species.
Visitors can observe the reef formations from the beach of Las Palmerillas, with the plant structures visible above water during certain periods.
The reef provides habitat for over 800 marine species and creates a natural barrier that prevents coastal erosion through its dense root network.
