| Abstract (English): |
The article focuses on Royal Decree 191/2026, of March 11, which establishes measures for the conservation of marine phanerogam meadows, mainly Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa, in the marine waters of the Spanish Mediterranean. These meadows, essential for biodiversity, climate regulation, and coastal protection, have suffered declines due to their fragility and various threats. The decree regulates uses and activities that may affect these meadows, prohibiting, among other things, anchoring on them, new installations nearby, and pollutant discharges, as well as promoting restoration and scientific monitoring of their condition. The regulation applies within the marine area under national sovereignty and complements other existing environmental laws, coming into effect on April 2, 2026. [Extracted from the article] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Las praderas de fanerógamas marinas del Mediterráneo español están formadas por especies de plantas con flores con una amplia distribución, en profundidades variables en función de sus requerimientos ecológicos, desde la orilla hasta cotas próximas a los 40 metros y sobre sustratos muy variados. Posidonia oceanica y Cymodocea nodosa son las especies dominantes en los ambientes infralitorales del Mediterráneo. La importancia ecológica de estas praderas es muy elevada. Los servicios ecosistémicos que prestan se relacionan con su relevante papel como elementos esenciales para la conservación de la biodiversidad, mantenimiento de los ciclos biogeoquímicos globales, regulación del clima, o para la protección de la costa. Estas praderas de fanerógamas deben ser, en consecuencia, consideradas elementos esenciales para la conservación del medio marino mediterráneo español. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
